Large, two-tier deployment workload estimation (200 to 1,000,000+ nodes, with 100 to 30,000 BMC Defender Servers)

Approximately 8 hours to configure and implement the automated deployment of BMC Defender Server instances
+ 8 hours to configure and implement automated deployment
+ 0.1 hour for each device that cannot be remotely installed

A 100,0000-node implementation consisting of ten different types of uniform devices, managed by 100 different BMC Defender Server instances typically requires about 24 hours to install, in addition to the actual execution time.

Approximately 1 hour to create remote configuration batch files for each managed device type
+1 hour of special configuration for each BMC Defender Server

A 100,0000-node implementation managed by 100 different BMC Defender Server instances typically requires about 24 hours to configure initially.

Approximately 1 to 2 hours of administrative activities per week per BMC Defender Server

Approximately 2 to 4 hours per day per BMC Defender Server to resolve open tickets, depending on the amount of data collected.

Installation and initial configuration of BMC Defender Server instances and remote agents rely mainly on automated deployment software that you supply.

BMC Defender Server remote configuration utilities, run in batch mode, perform the initial configuration.
