Server requirements for second polling engine

I want to install a second polling engine in our second datacentre to allow for growth. Can anyone point me to where I can find the server sizing information for additional polling engines? So far all I've found is the sizing requirements for the complete NMS services - are the requirements the same?

If your main Orion is working well you should use at least that level of hardware. The minimums are the same as the main Orion.

I have a similar question...

We are in the process of purchasing NPM + 3 polling engines... Also purchasing the other products of Lansurveyor,Netflow,APM,NCM, Engineer Toolset.

I was wondering how powerful of a server do I need to run NPM and all the other APPS? I know I will need a couple other computers for the other polling engines.. Should I get 3 other computers for polling or have NPM as one of those? Or just get 3 for the 3 engines since I have all these other things that will be running on the same server? We have around 18k elements.

I'm not sure I completely understand your question. If you have NPM and 3 polling engines, you will need 4 servers, one for the main Orion and one for each polling engine.
