Considerations

A dedicated CA User Activity Reporting Module server achieves optimal performance with eight or more processors. VMware ESX Server allows up to four processors for a single virtual machine. To attain performance similar to an eight-processor, dedicated server, install CA User Activity Reporting Module on two or more virtual machines and then federate them for consolidated reporting.

Two CA User Activity Reporting Module servers running as guests under VMware ESX Server v3.5 approximate the capacity of a single, dedicated CA User Activity Reporting Module server. Use the following table to help plan your virtual network:
