Overview of the Performance and Sizing Guide

An accurate analysis of the performance and sizing of hardware systems that support MOM 2005 is critical to the successful implementation of MOM 2005. This guide shares some of the knowledge gained from the performance and sizing testing for MOM 2005 and is presented in the following scenarios:

  • Large Agent Configuration-up to 5,000 agents

  • Small Agent Configuration-up to 200 agents

  • Single Agent Monitoring

  • Agentless Monitoring

  • MOM Connector Framework

  • Reporting Server

  • Low-Bandwidth Configuration

The test results presented in this guide do not represent or define an absolute system configuration for any number of managed computers. Instead, along with the MOM 2005 Management Sizer tool, you can use the results in this guide as a starting point to help you determine the appropriate performance and sizing considerations for MOM 2005 in your specific environment. The tool can be found in the Microsoft Operations Manager 2005 Resource Kit.
