Web-based Station Administration Write capability (i.e. performing Station
updates over the Web) and its impact on the OTM Server
Meridian 1 and Succession CSE 1000 and their impact on OTM Server
Resources
Communications between the OTM Server and Meridian 1 systems,
Succession CSE 1000 systems, OTM/Web Clients, LDAP Server, etc. and
their impact on the network to which they are connected
Note: The GCAS and CRS Billing applications will result in processor
load which is not possible to predict. The exact impact depends on several
factors including types of reports being generated and quantity of data
being merged. It is not possible to derive a general formula to predict the
impact of these applications. Nortel Networks recommends that these
applications be run during off-hours and that they not be run in parallel
with other resource-intensive applications.
Based upon this analysis, recommendations are made as to:
•
•
•
The resources required on the OTM Server
The number of Clients and Meridian 1 or Succession CSE 1000 systems that
can be connected to a single OTM Server
Network bandwidth and routing considerations
The analysis is presented in a set of tables containing the results of benchmark
testing. These tables can be used to calculate, for various OTM Server usage
scenarios, the resources and connections possible. To aide in this process, this
appendix analyzes four typical OTM Server configurations. Using these
configurations as examples and the raw table data, you can extrapolate
configurations specific to a given customer/distributor setup.
These guidelines provide minimum PC configurations for the OTM Server, OTM
Client, Web Client and OTM running in a standalone mode. The resource
calculations presented herein are centered around the OTM Server, running on a
Windows NT Server Platform.
