BigFix Relay capacity - 5,000

This is how I net out the requirements for large-scale (5k) relays from the capacity planning guide information and my own recommendations:

  • 2-4 CPU cores
  • 4-8GB RAM
  • More storage (more varied sites, mailboxsites hosted)
  • Increase _BESRelay_HTTPServer_MaxConnections to 10,240
  • Adjust _Enterprise Server_ClientRegister_BatchCount/BatchDelay, for responsiveness needs
  • Windows: Reduce TcpTimedWaitDelay to 30
  • Linux: Increase nofiles ulimit to at least 16384
