Rob,
Sorry... but that was just a test we did. Don't have that DB to query
anymore.
The standard rule-of-thumb is 3 objects per node.
Most of the systems in use now manage < 1000 nodes per box. Mostly routers
and
switches. These systems also have a lot more beef to them (dual 933s with
512MB mem)
and tend to coast a lot.
If you are intent on loading a system down though...
Take NetView NT, add a dash of CiscoWorks, and mix in some Optivity. This
is
guaranteed to tax just about any system... although with your 2.5 GB of
physical memory -- that may even be a chore.
But... getting back to your original question -- a dual 700 zeon with that
kind
of memory should be able to handle a very large number of nodes.
Regards,
Gary Boyles, Intel

Gary, with 10,000 nodes, what does that equate to in your object database?

Rob,
How beefy do you need it to be?
1) Ground Chuck
2) Surloin
3) T-Bone
4) Porter-House
I have a "surloin" development system (P3 500 MHz, 384 Meg memory).
I can probably manage a couple of thousand interfaes (ping-status)... and
run
some perl routines for some correlation. I don't typically do
data-collection
and storage though, so I can't help you there.
Perl tends to run REAL fast on NT though. Now if they'd just support all
the functions.
I once took a small T-Bone (2-processor 450 MHz, 512MB memory) system, and
managed 12000 nodes at one of our sites (20 minute ping interval). It
was starting to head out to pasture though... at about 10,000 nodes.
Haven't done much benchmarking lately though.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice weekend.
Gary Boyles, Intel

I just wanted to verify (as I have only run NetView on AIX) that a server
with:
Netfinity 8500
2 700 zeon processors
2.5gig memory
would be a nice and beefy box to run NetView on. My guess is yes and then
some, but this is NT, so you never know...
Thanks.
