2.2.5 High-Performance Production Configuration

The high-performance production configuration supports up to 5000 EPS.
To achieve optimal performance, the Oracle database uses a StorCase disk array (16 disks) to

store data files and a separate local SATA drive to hold the Oracle Redo log.
A secondary DAS_Binary process (which is responsible for event inserts into the database) is

installed on a dedicated machine to reduce the CPU utilization on the primary server.
To achieve optimal performance on both DAS machines, the file directory that holds DAS

Rating Comments
10 The Collector Manager 1 configuration handles up
to 1750 EPS; the Collector Manager 2
configuration handles up to 850 EPS. A typical
collector running alone can output up to 600 EPS,
but adding more collectors to a Collector Manager
or using collectors with more complex parsing will
reduce the per-collector output.
