NPM setup

I was wondering if the setup below would be possible and if I would require additional licenses?

Server 1
NPM
Database

Server 2
NTA

Server 3
NCM

Websver

and later a seperate Poller?

My exiisting setup has all 3 (NPM, NTA, NCM) and database on 1 server.

What is your recommended setup considering that I could be monitoring potentially 12000 interfaces/nodes/volumes?

Thanks in advance.

NPM and NTA must be on the same server. You can move NCM off to a separate server. You can also move the web server off to a separate box, but that requires a $500 purchase of the "additional web server". To managed 12,000 interfaces, you will need an additional NPM poller.

Be sure that you have your database on a separate box. And be sure that the DB has a lots of RAM and is configured to optimize read/write activiity (e.g., RAID 1.0 rather than RAID 5).

By lots of RAM, would 8G cut it for a single box deployment?
