This section presents example configurations that you can use to implement a Syncsort™ Capacity Management configuration of differing sizes. Production configurations often differ somewhat from those described in this section, as each deployment must change to accommodate the following requirements:
- Ingested data types
- Data processing volume per data type
- Data collection Frequency
Former terms for "Capacity Database" in Syncsort™ Capacity Management or Athene are "Capacity Management Information System" (or "CMIS") and "Performance Database" (or "PDB"). For this release "Capacity Database" also refers to any references in the product to "CMIS" and "PDB".
In each of these examples, users access Desktop applications (including the Control Center administration tool, known as System Manager) by connecting via RDP to one of the machines with a full set of Core software is installed. However, you can install the Desktop applications separately to manage the Control Center without RDP access. To use Desktop tools from a machine without Control Center installed, users need the same permissions as the Control Center Service user.
In larger configurations, the License Server only needs to be located on one of the Core machines but is not shown separately in the diagrams.
In an extra-large configuration, you can distribute the databases across any number of SQL Servers. Using a single SQL Server requires sufficient machine resources to support greater processing volume than other deployments.
