Large single-tier installation workload estimation (100 to 30,000 managed nodes, one BMC Defender Server)
Hours to install | Approximately 0.1 hours for server + 4 hours to configure and implement automated deployment + 0.1 hour for each device that cannot be remotely configured. |
Hours to initially configure | Approximately 1 hour to create remote configuration batch files for each managed device type. Approximately 0.1 hours per managed node that is manually configured + time to execute remote configuration batch files. |
Administrative workload | Approximately 1 hour per week administrative activities. |
Operational workload | Between 0.5 and 2 hours per day to resolve open tickets, depending upon the amount of data collected. |
Special considerations | Installation of agents relies mainly upon automated deployment software that you supply. Initial configuration is accomplished by BMC Defender remote configuration utilities, executed in batch mode. |
