NAP Capacity Planning

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Vista

To design a scalable NAP infrastructure, you must analyze the NAP server roles in your deployment and develop an implementation plan that considers several factors, including:

  • Performance. Which type of resources are most used by each server role in your NAP deployment? How will you monitor performance?

  • Roles. Do servers in your NAP deployment perform multiple functions? How does this affect performance?

  • Availability. Do you require 100 percent availability for all server roles in your deployment?

  • Access profile. When and where does your network experience peak activity? Is the activity consistent or does it change over time?

  • Location. Are servers located in regional data centers or distributed to branch offices?
