Recommended Portal Configurations
APTARE recommends the following Portal configurations. Since these minimums depend on several factors, they may vary from one environment to another. As products are added and features fully deployed, you may need to transition from a medium to a large Portal. For example, the addition of Virtualization Manager and Fabric Manager, as well as increased data collection frequency, could warrant additional resources.
