Plan your Deployment Strategy for Aternity on-premise 11.0.3

To plan your Aternity on-premise deployment, you must choose the size, shape and contingencies to put into place for your deployment.

Plan your deployment of Aternity on-premise

Procedure

Step 1 Size your deployment to determine the number of servers and their hardware requirements.

Some Aternity components can share the same computer, depending on the size of your deployment.


Size of deployment	Description
Trial deployment (up to 1000 devices) Learn more	Trial POC deployment for Aternity on-premise In the trial deployment, the Aternity Management Server hosts Oracle Database Server, Data Warehouse Server, and Aggregation Server. For details about the hardware specifications, learn more.
Small deployment (up to 30,000 devices) Learn more	Small Aternity deployment In the small deployment, the Aternity Management Server hosts Data Warehouse Server. For details about the hardware specifications, learn more.
Medium deployments (up to 60,000 devices) Learn more	Medium sized Aternity deployment Aternity requires one Aggregation Server per 40,000 monitored devices and one Vertica Database Server node per 25,000 monitored devices. So, calculate the number of servers you need following the amount of monitored devices in your organization. Data Warehouse Server should be deployed on a dedicated machine separately from other Aternity servers in deployments with more than 40,000 monitored devices. For details about the hardware specifications, learn more.
Large deployments (up to 110,000 devices Learn more	Large Aternity deployment Aternity requires one Aggregation Server per 40,000 monitored devices and one Vertica Database Server node per 25,000 monitored devices. So, calculate the number of servers you need following the amount of monitored devices in your organization. Data Warehouse Server should be deployed on a dedicated machine separately from other Aternity servers in deployments with more than 40,000 monitored devices. For details about the hardware specifications, learn more.
X-large deployments (up to 160,000 devices) Learn more	X-large Aternity deployment Aternity requires one Aggregation Server per 40,000 monitored devices and one Vertica Database Server node per 25,000 monitored devices. So, calculate the number of servers you need following the amount of monitored devices in your organization. Data Warehouse Server should be deployed on a dedicated machine separately from other Aternity servers in deployments with more than 40,000 monitored devices. For details about the hardware specifications, learn more.
XX-large deployments (up to 220,000 devices) Learn more	XX-large Aternity deployment Aternity requires one Aggregation Server per 40,000 monitored devices and one Vertica Database Server node per 25,000 monitored devices. So, calculate the number of servers you need following the amount of monitored devices in your organization. Data Warehouse Server should be deployed on a dedicated machine separately from other Aternity servers in deployments with more than 40,000 monitored devices. For details about the hardware specifications, learn more.

Step 2 Secure your deployment to determine whether to implement secure HTTPS for external access to Aternity.

Secure your connections to monitored devices and to users of the system
Step 3 Choose the network topology of your deployment, which determines the placement of firewalls and any ports to open between them.

Centralized deployment of Aternity on-premise
Step 4 Choose a policy of backups for your deployment.

Implement redundancy via failover in Aternity
Step 5 Prepare the operating systems and other software requirements for each server.

Important
Synchronize all Aternity components to have the same date, time AND time zone.
Step 6 Perform your setup or upgrade of Aternity on-premise on the computers you prepared.
