APPENDIX B
Hardware Recommendations

Standalone or Distributed System for GUI Server and Device Server

Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
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
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.
