Planning and Implementing the <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Deployment<br />
Determining the Number of Managed Products, Endpoints,<br />
and Child Servers<br />
You also need to know the total number of managed products, endpoints, and child<br />
servers <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> server will manage. <strong>Trend</strong> <strong>Micro</strong> recommends gathering<br />
managed product, endpoint, and child server population data per site. If you cannot get<br />
this information, even rough estimates will be helpful. You will need this information to<br />
determine how many servers to install.<br />
Planning for the Optimal Ratio of Server-Managed Products/<br />
Server-Endpoints to Cascading Structure<br />
When deploying <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> across the WAN, the <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> server in the<br />
main office administers managed products, endpoints, and child servers in the remote<br />
office. If you will have managed products, endpoints, or child servers in the remote<br />
office reporting to the server in the main office over the WAN, you need to consider the<br />
diversity of the network bandwidth in your WAN environment. Having different<br />
network bandwidth in your WAN environment can be beneficial to <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>. If<br />
you have managed products, endpoints, or child servers both on the LAN and across<br />
the WAN reporting to the same server, reporting is staggered naturally; the server<br />
prioritizes those with the faster connection, which, in almost all cases, are the managed<br />
products, endpoints, or child servers on the LAN.<br />
Use the recommended system requirements as a guide in determining the CPU and<br />
RAM requirements for your <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> network.<br />
Designating <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> Servers<br />
Based on the number of managed products, endpoints, and cascading structure<br />
requirements, decide and designate your <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong> server.<br />
Locate your Windows servers, and then select the ones to assign as <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong><br />
servers. You also need to determine if you need to install a dedicated server.<br />
When selecting a server that will host <strong>Control</strong> <strong>Manager</strong>, consider the following:<br />
• The CPU load<br />
• Other functions the server performs<br />
