DB capacity required by agent file data

[Hideo]

Hello,

I have a question about agent terminals.

Are there any recommended values for endpoints, such as required database capacity (e.g., how many GB of DB space is needed for one endpoint, how many GB of DB space is needed for 100 endpoints, etc.)?

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards,

Hideo

Hello Hideo,

Greetings!

After analyzing the current data usage on two of our endpoints, we've observed that endpoints is utilizing approximately 73KB of storage. Including backup, this brings the total to 144KB per endpoint.

As you plan your Intel® EMA server implementation, keep in mind that the configuration of the server hardware can have an impact on the overall performance of your Intel® EMA instance as the number of managed endpoints grows. The following tables show testing results that may be helpful in determining the appropriate server hardware configuration for your Intel® EMA server installation. The tables show the number of managed endpoints required to achieve maximum capacity in the DB (DB 100% CPU ) then next to it shows the average CPU capacity on Intel® EMA servers when it hit max load on DB given the server and database hardware configurations in the row labels (e.g., 4 CPUs and 16 GB memory).

NOTE

Performance can vary greatly from one implementation to another depending on a variety of environmental factors. The following test result information is provided solely to aid in pre-implementation decision making and is not intended as any claim of actual performance.

Based on the following test result data, for example, you could expect a single Intel® EMA server with 2 CPUs and 8 GB of RAM to satisfactorily support approximately 79K managed endpoints (the DB 80% CPU column below). Note that if CIRA will be used, we recommend that you reduce the number of endpoints in any column below by half.

Furthermore, the data below is based on an idle state for the Intel® EMA agent on the managed endpoint. You should allow some headroom (for example, 20%) for usage such as KVM sessions on the endpoint. Given the above considerations, for a single Intel® EMA server with 2 CPUs and 8 GB of RAM and using a database with 4 CPUs and 16 GB of RAM in an implementation where CIRA will be used, we recommend no more than approximately 31K managed endpoints (79K/2 * .80 = 31.6). Note also that in a multi-server configuration, adding additional servers does not necessarily increase linearly the number of managed endpoints as there is an overload on the database.
