Sizing Enterprise Console

mbro

Hi There,

Just looking for a bit of advice. We will need to build a server to support 1000 Windows endpoints. Are there any guides available to help size this server? Would it require a SQL database rather than SQL Express?

Thanks

    That's great, thanks Jak. I was actually on site today and had a look at the proposed server. It seems it could do with a bit more RAM but otherwise it is fairly ok. I am concerned however by the environment it is going into and would like some advice on the best way to procede.

    The clients are all based in remote sites with between 1 and 10 clients on each site. Each of these sites is connected back to head office via a MPLS network. They are all members of a workgroup and there is no name resolution. The names of the clients are not unique so the same name appears multiple times throughout the network. Currently these clients have Sophos AV version 7 installed in standalone mode.

    What is required is for these clients to manageable from a central location. I don't believe it will be possible until we sort out the name resolution and naming issues but maybe you could confirm that? Is it possible for Sophos to work on an IP level so it doesnt care about names? Changing the names of the clients is an option we made need to take and possibly setting up a central hosts file or similar. Could you offer any more advice?

    Thanks!
