Scalability and performance
Power Manager supports up to 6000 target devices.
It is important to configure appropriate Power and Temperature Sampling Intervals in Power Manager, because sampling
intervals impact the system performance and footprint significantly, including network bandwidth consumption, database size,
and trend graph display latency.
The default power and temperature intervals in Power Manager are 15 minutes. This value is appropriate for small, or medium-
sized environments where the device number is less than 1000. However, when the environment has more managed devices,
the interval is automatically set to 30 minutes.
