Hardware Requirements for a Distributed System

In a distributed system, the collectors and the management console are installed on separate servers.

Management Console

The management console server contains the MySQL database and supports approximately ten standard collectors or 30 small-site collectors. CA has tested UC Monitor on servers with the following specifications. CA supports the management console on servers from any vendor, when the servers conform to these specifications, at minimum:

• Two Intel E5520 Xeon quad-core 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB processors
• 24 GB of RAM
• Six 146-GB SAS hard drives in RAID 5 configuration
• 300 GB of space on the installation drive (to accommodate potential database growth)
• Intel Copper GB or Intel Fiber GB network interface card
• PCI Express x16 slot expansion card
• Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports
• Intel 82576 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Standard Collector

CA has tested UC Monitor on servers with the following specifications. CA supports the collector on servers from any vendor, when the servers conform to these specifications, at minimum:

• Intel E5520 Xeon quad-core 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB processor
• 3 GB of RAM
• Three 146-GB SAS hard drives in RAID 5 configuration
• 300 GB of space on the installation drive (to accommodate potential database growth)
• Intel Copper GB or Intel Fiber GB network interface card
• PCI Express x16 slot expansion card
• Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 ports
• Intel 82576 Gigabit Ethernet Controller

Small-site Collector

A distributed, small-site, system is available for deployments with multiple sites of 1,000 phones or fewer. CA supports the small-site collector on servers from any vendor, when the servers conform to the following specifications, at minimum:

• Intel Celeron E1500 2.2 GHz, 800 MHz FSB processor
• 2 GB of RAM
• SATA II 3.5-inch hard drive
• Intel Copper GB or Intel Fiber GB network interface card
• 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 port
• Two Intel single-port 82576 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controllers
