Recommended System Requirements

Observe the following system requirements to obtain optimum Control Manager performance:

General Recommendations

Hardware/Software Specification	Recommended Requirement
Network adapter	100Mbps, 32-bit, adapter for both the Control Manager server and managed product. Preferably one designed for bus mastering, direct memory access (DMA)
File system	NT File System (NTFS) partition
Monitor	VGA monitor capable of 1024 x 768 resolution with at least 256 colors.

Do not install Trend Micro Control Manager on a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC)
Physical memory is a system resource � all applications on the server share it. Scale the memory with the processor; do not overpopulate with memory

Sizing Recommendations

The following are recommendations for a single Control Manager server and for a parent Control Manager server.

Control Manager Server	Environment	Recommendations
Single	Number of: Control Manager agents: 1000 Trend VCS (TVCS) agents: 500 OfficeScan Corporate Edition (OSCE) 6.5 clients: 2000* Total above: 2000	Intel Pentium III 450MHz or equivalent 256MB RAM MSDE (local)
Single/Child	Number of: Control Manager agents: 1500 TVCS agents: 500 OSCE 6.5 clients: 5000* Total above: 5000	Intel Pentium III 1GHz or equivalent 512MB RAM SQL Server (local)
Parent	Number of: Control Manager agents: 10000 TVCS agents: 2500 OSCE 6.5 clients:10000* Total above: 10000 Child Control Manager servers: 50
Single/Child	Number of: Control Manager agents: 2000 TVCS agents: 500 OSCE 6.5 clients: 10000* Total above: 10000	Intel Pentium III 1GHz or equivalent 1GB RAM SQL Server (remote)
Parent	Number of: Control Manager agents: 20000 TVCS agents: 5000 OSCE 6.5 clients:100000* Total above: 100000 Child Control Manager servers: 100
Single/Child	Number of: Control Manager agents: 5000 TVCS agents: 1000 OSCE 6.5 clients: 10000* Total above: 15000	Intel Pentium 4 2GHz or equivalent 2GB RAM SQL Server (remote)
Parent	Number of: Control Manager agents: 50000 TVCS agents: 10000 OSCE 6.5 clients: 200000* Total above: 200000 Child Control Manager servers: 200

* Parent Control Manager servers do not store any detailed information for OSCE 6.5 clients. All OSCE 6.5 security logs are linked to the OSCE server.

The following are recommendations for the indicated network sizes for a single Control Manager server.

Number of managed products	CPU Specifications	RAM	Database Requirements
Less than 500 products	Intel Pentium III 500MHz	500MB	MSDE (2GB)
500 to 1,000 products	Intel Pentium III 500MHz	500MB	MSDE or MS SQL 7 / 2000
Above 1,000 products	Intel Pentium III 1GHz	1GB	MSDE or MS SQL 7 / 2000 Trend Micro recommends a dedicated connection between the Control Manager database and SQL server.
