Table 1. Deployment best practicesThe following table lists deployment best practices:
Do	Don't
Allocate memory and virtual CPUs to increase performance. OpenManage Enterprise is configured to use additional resources to increase performance. Locate OpenManage Enterprise on a hypervisor with local or fast storage. Faster storage supports receiving and processing a larger number of incoming events. Ensure that ports are opened between OpenManage Enterprise and the devices you want to manage. Encrypt the drives where the virtual disks are stored to make unauthorized access difficult. Customers must also ensure that the files can be decrypted later else the device would not be bootable.	Leave unnecessary VM snapshots that result in performance degradation. Decrease memory to less than 16 GBs or the number of CPUs to less than four.
