How should I design the new SolarWinds deployment using the least amount of servers without affecting performance??
I have a current installation with several SolarWinds products, so I have a good idea on the overall size of my deployment. I just finished taking 2 weeks of training at Loop1 Systems with Bill Fitzpatrick (excellent training btw if anyone gets a chance to go). Now that I'm back in the office, I am thinking about starting over from scratch. We own/use NPM, SAM, NTA, DPA, SRM, STM (SRM-Profiler), and the additional Web Server Engine.
I know the following:
- I will be building a new physical SQL server
- I will be building a new virtual Primary Poller - Orion server
- The remaining server(s) will be virtual
Can I get away with installing the NetFlow database (NTA itself to be installed on the primary poller), STM (SRM-Profiler), and the additional Web Server Engine on 1 virtual machine?
Here is our current usage:
