Tuning performance

Learn how to plan the infrastructure of BigFix Inventory and to configure the application server to achieve optimal performance. The following guidelines are applicable in big data environments as well as in smaller environments that are running on low-performance hardware.

Your deployment architecture depends on the number of endpoints that you want to have in your audit reports. The BigFix Inventory server stores its data in a dedicated database, either DB2 or MS SQL Server. When you plan and install the BigFix Inventory infrastructure, consider the hardware requirements for all the components. For more information, see: Hardware requirements.

To benefit from all the good practices, it is recommended to use the BigFix server version 9.5 and the latest version of BigFix Inventory.
