Small single-tier installation workload estimation (5 to 100 managed nodes, one BMC Defender Server)

Hours to install

Approximately 0.1 hours for server + 0.1 hours per managed node.

Information
Example

A 10-node implementation typically takes about 1 hour to install.

Hours to initially configure

Approximately 0.2 hours per managed node.

Information
Example

A 10-node implementation typically requires about 2 hours to configure initially.

Administrative workload

Less than one hour per week.

Operational workload

Between 0.5 and 2 hours per day to resolve open tickets.

Special considerations

A single administrator typically performs deployment and configuration and absorbs the administrative and operational workload as a part of their normal operations. This model can be generalized to a distributed architecture and can serve as the worst-case workload for that type of system.

Information
Example

Without leveraging any economy of scale, a distributed system consisting of 10 BMC Defender Servers, each managing ten devices, require 10 hours to deploy and configure initially. (More efficient deployments are outlined in the subsequent tables.)
