2.2.6 Virtual Environments

Sentinel 6.1 has been tested extensively on VMware* ESX Server, and Novell fully supports
Sentinel running in this environment. Performance results in a virtual environment can be
comparable to the results achieved in tests on a physical machine, the virtual environment should
provide the same memory, CPU, disk space, and I/O as the physical machine recommendations.

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.
