I have taken over a space that has NPM installed currently with a Web Server and separate SQL server. The specs on both boxes are up to snuff with what NFA needs, so my question is what box, SQL or NPM, do I need to beef up to meet the requirements for all three products?
Or What should I be planning on provisioning to use all three products with remote SQL? Our current network size is <100 devices, but expected to reach that before too long.
