SolutionPack Performance and Scalability Guidelines
Abstract
The performance and scalability guidelines outlined here are based
on tests run on EMC M&R configured in a production-like
environment. Both live and simulated configuration items were
used to measure the performance and scalability of EMC M&R.

EMC Service Assurance Suite 9.5.1 SolutionPack Performance and Scalability Guidelines 4
1 Overview The guidelines for an optimized performance and scalability are related to planning the
hardware and virtual environment, disk space, network latency, and deployment and
configuration.
• Planning guidelines help determine the right ESX hardware and the number of
virtual machines needed for a specific data center environment.
• Disk space guidelines help prepare and configure datastore capacity before EMC
M&R deployment.
• Network latency guidelines help identify the proximity and placement of EMC
M&R virtual machines with respect to the configuration items.
• Deployment and configuration guidelines assist with deployment and
postdeployment.
EMC M&R is fully deployable on non-ESX hosts. EMC M&R Performance and Scalability
Guidelines do not address non-ESX host deployment scenarios.
EMC M&R Performance and Scalability Guidelines do not address all of the SolutionPacks
contained in EMC M&R.
2 Audience This article is for EMC M&R installers, administrators or anyone who manages the EMC M&R
application.
3 Purpose After reading this article, you will have guidelines to follow to ensure you can configure
EMC M&R for optimal performance based on the scale of your environment.
4 Infrastructure planning guidelines Use these guidelines to plan the infrastructure such as the right ESX hardware, number of
virtual machines needed, and other details described in the tables to ensure an optimum
performance and scalability.
Note: Any Solution Pack that generates more than 5M metrics should have an exclusive
EMC M&R deployment.

5 Deployment Planner tool The EMC M&R Deployment Planner tool can be used in conjunction with these guidelines
to help scope specific environment requirements. Using known data about the
environment, the tool will estimate EMC M&R hardware needs, provide metric counts
(with growth factor), and include pointers to performance and scalability guidelines
specific to the environment.
Access the Deployment Planner tool on the Downloads for EMC M&R page at:
• Heap size on event processing manager instances, Front-end, APG backend
increased to 8GB
• 3 GHz Dual-processor server
• 600GB (OS and Application) Disk Separate 1TB Flow storage
Up to 10K Flows per second (per Core CPU) per event processing manager on a
collector VM are processed. There can be only one event processing manager per
collector VM.
6.7 SolutionPack for CUCM
I. Test Bed Details:
Setup is created on a Single VM with CentOS 6.8 Operating System, 200 GB of Disk Space, RAM 32GB (dedicated), and 4 CPUs per host. Captured below are the readings for CDR/CMR records that were processed and their rendering times.
II. CDR/CMR report processing and report rendering results
Note: Average number of calls that are incrementally updated on the front-end is
7200 calls per hour.
