UMS Design and Best Practices
In this document, we will cover some basic sizing, and configuration best practices for configuring an IGEL UMS cluster to manage IGEL devices accross multiple types of environments.
Sizing Guidelines
A note on sizing
The size guidelines below are just that. You may need to expand your UMS cluster if you have a complex environment, or are using multiple UMS Jobs.
It is not recomended to deploy more than 4 CPU's and 16 GB of RAM for any single server, and you should never have more than 6 UMS servers in a single cluster.
| Environment | Total IGEL Devices | UMS Server Count | CPU Cores | RAM | Storage | Database Type | Minimum License Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lab | < 100 | 1 | 4 | 9 GB | 120 GB | Embedded | Essential |
| Essential | < 200 | 1 | 4 | 9 GB | 120 GB | Embedded | Essential |
| Small | < 1,000 | 1+ | 4 | 12 GB | 120 | External | Standard |
| Medium | < 2,000 | 2+ | 4 | 12 GB | 120 | External | Standard |
| Large | < 5,000 | 3+ | 4 | 12 GB | 120 | External | Enterprise |
| Enterprise | +5,000 | 6 | 4 | 16 GB | 120 | External | Enterprise |
