Juniper NETWORK AND SECURITY MANAGER 2010.4 - REV1, Installation Manual, Page: 223 / 244

APPENDIX B
Hardware Recommendations
This appendix lists guidelines for Network and Security Manager (NSM) hardware capacity.
System requirements for each NSM component vary by use. We recommend that you
discuss your current and projected device management requirements with a Juniper
Networks Systems Engineer to ensure that your needs are met by the hardware you
select.
These basic elements determine how much hardware you need:
•
Type of installation: standalone or distributed
•
Network Card Requirements
• Memory
• Storage capacity
•
Processor speed
Specific requirements for each system vary, but you can apply some general rules and
formulas.
This appendix contains these sections:
•
Standalone or Distributed System for GUI Server and Device Server on page 201
•
Network Card Requirements on page 202
• Memory Requirements on page 202
• Storage Space Requirements on page 204
•
Processor Speed Requirements on page 207
•
Recommendations for Large-Scale Installations on page 207
Standalone or Distributed System for GUI Server and Device Server
The GUI Server and Device Server may be combined in the same physical server if you
have fewer than 200 devices, small device configuration sizes (for example, large number
of NS-5GTs with a few larger systems), and fewer than 1000 logs per second from all
devices.
For larger networks, we recommend distributing the GUI Server and Device Server.
