Hello,
I've ran through the Ms guide for FIM 2010 capacity planning (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff400279(v=ws.10).aspx), but it doesn't really cover my situation.
I have a unique setup in a hosted environment:
- AD accounts are provisioned by an input file (CSV). FIM is currently purely being used to provision accounts in a hosted environment.
- The FIM portal and Synchronisation service has been installed, but users do not use the portal.
- Declarative synchronisation rules are being used.
- I'm happy with the current performance, an AD export and delta import for my domain with around 8,000 user accounts takes 90 seconds.
Currently a single server with FIM 2010 R2 is hosting the portal, sync engine and SQL DBs (all on one 1 server) with the following spec:
- Windows 2008 R2, x64, 2 vCPUs (2 x Intel Xeon 2560 2GHz), 4 GB RAM, 3 logical disks (split over RAID 1 15K SAS disks)
I need to now enable SSPR functionality and only expose the password reset portal (I'll use a script to programmatically register users so the registration site is not needed).
I currently have a spare server with the following specs:
- Dual Core Intel Xeon (2 x 1.8 GHz ES 2650)
- 2 x 15K SAS Disks in a RAID 1
- 8 GB RAM
I suspect this will meet my requirements for the SSPR server, however other than building the system and in depth testing I don't know. In addition, I'm not sure how the extra load will impact upon my FIM server, whilst I can freely add additional memory and CPUs, increasing disk speed is a lot harder.
I'd be interested to hear from others on their current sizing profiles, especially if someone has a similar environment to myself. I'm really trying to make sure the system will be able to handle 1,000 performing password resets simultaneously.
Thank you in advance
