Scaling Your Architecture
Each Infrastructure Data Collector supports up to 15,000 components or 30,000 KPI instances whichever is reached first. One Infrastructure Data Collector connected to one Analytic Engine should be sufficient for most needs, but you can scale your architecture by deploying multiple Infrastructure Data Collectors. The following diagram illustrates the suggested architecture for scaling Optimize.

To further increase scalability, My webMethods can support multiple installations of Optimize. For information about hardware requirements depending on the number of objects you are monitoring, see Installing Software AG Products.
