One of my favorite consulting questions to ask when dealing with a scalability problem is, “If you could change the system design with the knowledge you have today, what would/wouldn’t you change and why?” Sometimes it’s best to ask this question on a one-on-one basis with different developers, DBAs, report writers, and…
So, you Network Configuration Manager (NCM) folks are probably aware of this link explaining its scalability. To summarize, a single poller can deal with up to 10K devices, and you can add two additional polling engines (APE) to the primary poller, which sums up to 30K devices. That’s a lot, and I’m assuming not that many…
I have read that you can stack up to three Additional Polling Engines on the same server as the Main Poller, but have found little information on what the requirements are and how this can be done. Can someone shed some light on this topic? It would help me a lot. Thanks in advance. Regards, J. Roman
HI All, we are planning to deploy new APE on Cloud and other APE and MPE running on On Prem VM. Later we Plan for migration of Master polling engine(MPE) & Database services to AWS cloud and then Distribute APE’s across multiple locations. can any one have any documentation of steps handy? please share asap thanks Sumit…

We want to add APEs in our environment having SAM 2019.x version. We are already using 13 APEs for polling data. We have SAM ALX license but does SAM 2019.x support more than 13 APEs like other products(NPM,NCM etc. supports up to 100 APEs) ? @rschroeder @aLTeReGo @mesverrum
Hello, I have a large environment with a lot of IIS and SQL servers. I currently have 170 'AppInsight for SQL' setup. I know from the 'Scalability Engine Guidelines for SolarWinds products' that an APE should try to stay around 10,000 components. AppInsight for SQL takes up at least 50 for each instance. I have an APE that…
Here’s the fifth part of the series I’ve been writing regarding HCI. Again, I don’t want to sway my audience from one platform to another. Rather, I want them to follow the edict caveat emptor. It’s mission-critical for the future of the environment we’re talking about here for the buyer to be aware of the available…
This is the fourth post of my series on hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) architectural design and decision-making. For my money, the differences between these diverse systems is a function of the storage involved in the design. On the compute side, these environments use x86 and a hypervisor to create a cluster of hosts…
