The following table can help you determine the number of required Central Servers, Child Servers, Data Collection Hosts, and BMC Server Automation Servers. The table also shows the maximum number of devices, monitor instances, and attributes for a proof of concept (POC), small, medium and large environment in BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management.

Characteristic	POC	Small Environment	Medium Environment	Large Environment
Number of monitored devices	500	10 K	30 K	50 K
Number of monitor instances	4.5 K	50 K	150 K	250 K
Number of attributes	8 K	100 K	300 K	500 K
Duration RAW data retention	8 days	8 days	8 days	8 days
Duration RATE retention	3 Months	3 Months	3 Months	3 Months
Adapter type	BMC PATROL	BMC PATROL	BMC PATROL	BMC PATROL
Polling frequency, in minutes (stats, auto-sync)	5, 5	5, 5	5, 5	5, 5
Required number of Central Servers	1 ^*	1	1	1
Required number of Child Servers	1 ^*	1	3	5
