Sizing requirements for medium scale deployment
This section recommends the hardware, software, and job sizing requirements that are required for CCS on medium scale deployment.
The following table lists the requirements and recommendations for medium scale deployment.
Table: Requirements and recommendations
Requirements |
Recommendations |
Hardware |
Following are the hardware recommendations:
1 server to host the CCS Application Server, and CCS Manager in all roles except the Collector role.
1 SQL server to host production database and reporting database.
In case of agent-less data collection, 1 server to host the CCS Manager in Collector role.
In case of agent-based data collection:
For raw-data collection, 1 server to host the CCS Manager in Collector role.
For message based data collection, 2 servers to host CCS Managers in Collector role. Symantec recommends to deploy 1 CCS Manager or every 4000 agents.
For information on Hardware configurations for CCS servers, See Table: Hardware configurations for CCS servers. |
Software |
Following are the software recommendations:
64-bit operating system should be deployed on the servers. Recommended operating system is Windows Server 2008 R2 with latest service pack and latest windows updates.
The SQL server hosting the production and reporting database should be of 64-bit.
|
Job sizing |
Following are the job sizing recommendations:
Ensure the following:
Evaluation job does not overlap with other jobs as evaluation is processor intensive operation. Else include a separate CCS Manager with Data Evaluation role.
Any Sync job such as Report data synchronization job or evaluation sync job does not overlap with the Reporting data purge job. This is required to avoid slow performance of the system as both are database intensive operations.
