Factors impacting Data Collector performance and memory requirements

Because every environment has a unique set of resources, configured and tuned specifically for that environment, there is no one size fits all formula. Several factors can impact performance and memory requirements:

  • Number of active Data Collector Policies

  • Number of hosts and active probes per host

  • Number and types of storage arrays

  • Number of LUNs

  • Polling frequency and number of devices polled

  • Amount of data transmitted

  • Performance of array device managers

  • Number of NetBackup hosts enabled for File Analytics
