Sizing charts for BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management integration
This section provides sizing summaries for a BMC ProactiveNet environment that is integrated with BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management.
Provided values represent the maximum values recommended for the tested parameter.
Sizing chart for BMC Cloud Life Cycle Management
The following table can help you determine the number of required BMC ProactiveNet Central Servers, BMC ProactiveNet 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 | Medium | Large |
|---|---|---|---|---|
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 BMC ProactiveNet Central Servers | 1 * | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Required number of BMC ProactiveNet Child Servers | 1 * | 1 | 3 | 5 |
Required number of BMC ProactiveNet Data Collection Hosts | 1 * | 1 | 3 | 5 |
Required number of BMC BladeLogic Automation Servers | N/A | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Total number of computers required | 1 | 3 | 7 | 11 |
Total number of processors | 2 | 8 | 20 | 32 |
Total memory required (in GB) | 8 | 31 | 80 | 128 |
^ In a POC deployment, all of the components for BMC Cloud Life Cycle Management, such as the BMC ProactiveNet Central Server, Child Server, and Data Collection Host, are on the same computer.^
