D.
Duration of
opportunity for
deployment
The product of two values that you multiply.
(D1) How many hours per day are available for nondisruptive
deployments?
(D2) How many days remain until all assets in the deployment package
must be provisioned and available for playback on all targeted DMPs?
Q.
What is the product (counted in hours) when you multiply D1 by D2?
E.
Total DMS-CD
throughput
Gather these values.
(E1) What is the throughput of your DMM appliance?
2
(E2) What value is in effect for the Concurrency preference setting?
(E3) What DMP Incoming Transfer Rate value did you record in row A?
(E4) What is the sum when you add E2 to E3?
Q.
Compare the values of E1 and E4. The lower value is exactly what?
F.
Shortest
possible
duration for
a parallel
deployment
The quotient when you divide one value by another.
(F1) What Total Data to Be Deployed value did you record in row B?
(F2) What Total DMS-CD Throughput value did you record in row E?
Q.
What is the quotient (counted in hours) when you divide F1 by F2?
1. Potentially including any QoS policies that limit how much of your total bandwidth capacity DMS-CD is permitted to use.
2. Because your DMM appliance uses a 1 GB network adapter for Ethernet, its throughput is likely to be at least 40 mbits in any modern network that is
not overloaded. If you do not know how to measure server throughput, contact your network administrator.
