NOTE: When SupportAssist Enterprise is installed on a Windows operating system, you can extend the monitoring and
collection capabilities for up to 15,000 devices by setting up multiple Remote Collectors.
NOTE: For monitoring more than 100 devices in your environment, Dell recommends that you install SupportAssist
Enterprise on server that meets the specified hardware requirements. Periodic collections (required for ProSupport Plus
reporting) from more than 100 devices may result in a high processor or memory utilization on the monitoring server. This
high resource utilization may affect other applications that are running on the monitoring server, if the resources are shared
with other applications.
