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


Hours to install

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

Information
Example

A 100,0000-node implementation consisting of 10 different types of uniform devices, managed by 100 different BMC Defender Servers, typically requires about 24 hours to install + actual execution time.

Hours to initially configure

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

Information
Example

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

Administrative workload

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

Operational workload

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

Special considerations

Installation and initial configuration of BMC Defender Servers and remote agents rely mainly upon automated deployment software supplied by the customer. Initial configuration is accomplished by BMC Defender remote configuration utilities executed in batch mode.
