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. |
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. |
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. |
