Hi,

We are installing one among the largest networks and we expect atleast a million equipments in the network over a period of 12 months. The issue here is that we are not sure whether the NMS server based on linux would be able to cater to this big a network starting from the no of scopes that can be created. We need to know as to "hw many scopes can be created in say Linux 9 on a desktop server( this is on trial basis) later we would be having a server based platform with enterprise edition. The desktop server has 4 GB ram and 160GB harddisk.

Thanks & regds

Why are you using such an old and unsupported distro, the results of your tests may actually be flawed. Use a recent distro Like Centos which is an enterprise clone and free.
