NCM scalability

FormerMember

Hi All

 

I am interested to know from the users of NCM , how it scales in terms of numbers of devices managed by the product.

Could you let me know some of the numbers you are managing with NCM. This is so I better understand its capabilities as we are performing a tool comparison in terms of NCM type products and I have no real world idea as to how many managed elements NCM can handle before it starts to take strain.

Thanks

Hi Jawells--

Fyi, here are the NCM scalability guidelines from the Orion NCM Administrator Guide

Server Sizing

Orion Network Configuration Manager can perform configuration management for any sized network, from small corporate LANs to large enterprise and service provider networks. Most Orion NCM implementations perform well on Pentium-class 3GHz systems with 3GB of RAM using the default simultaneous transfer settings and no modification to node monitoring settings.

Should scalability issues arise, consider adjusting the following variables:

• Number of simultaneous transfers
• Frequency of uploads, downloads, and inventory jobs
• Node polling interval for up-down monitoring
