We are planning to bring up the new ZIMon tools on our 450+ node cluster, and need to purchase new nodes to run the collector federation and GUI function on. What would you choose as a platform for this? — memory size? — local disk space — SSD? shared? — net attach — 10Gig? 25Gig? IB? — CPU horse power — single or dual socket? I think I remember somebody in Cambridge UG meeting saying 150 nodes per collector as a rule of thumb, so we’re guessing a federation of 4 nodes would do it. Does this include the GUI host(s) or are those separate? Finally, we’re still using client/server based licensing model, do these nodes count as clients?
