Separated Ivanti Endpoint Security Application and Database Servers

When the Application Server and Database Server are installed on two physical servers, then each servers recommended hardware requirements will increase according to the number of managed endpoints in your network.

Review the following information when the components are installed on separate servers.

Installation on a physical server is assumed. If installing to virtual environment, refer to Ivanti Community Article 2674 (https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/Lumension-products-installed-on-virtual-machines).

  1. If you are managing 10000+ endpoints, contact Ivanti Support (https://forums.ivanti.com/s/contactsupport) for a recommended configuration.
  2. A Sandy Bridge Xeon+ or AMD equivalent is recommended. On virtualized servers, 2x the assigned cores is recommended.
  3. On virtualized servers, 2x RAM is recommended for networks supporting 1000+endpoints.
  4. Due to performance issues, do not use RAID5 configurations. Replace the disk array with a shared SAN, an enterprise-class SSD, or another enterprise storage solution.
    • 1000 IOPS minimum sustained performance is recommended.

    • A dedicated array or LUN is recommended.
