Architecture Guidelines
This chapter provides an overview of the product module dependencies and locations, the logical hardware relationships, and sample physical hardware implementations:
• Product dependencies and locations
• Logical hardware design
• Sample server implementations
• Hardware sizing
• Printing
Overview
The guidelines in this section complement the information contained in the Oracle Utilities Network Management System Release Notes. The Product Summary and Dependencies document has been replaced by a combination of the Release Notes and this Architecture Guidelines document.
This section contains information about product module dependencies and locations, the logical hardware relationships, and sample physical hardware implementations. It should provide the information needed to understand the relationships between the software modules and the hardware that is required to implement.
For an overall product summary, please refer to the Oracle Utilities Network Management System User Guide.

Oracle Utilities Network Management System High-Level Conceptual Diagram
Example Hardware/Software Overview
Below is an example Network Management System hardware and software overview diagram. It can be used to get a reasonable idea regarding the hardware and software a medium sized utility (500K->1M customers) might use to support an NMS installation.
Hardware Sizing
Hardware sizing guidelines are not discussed in this document. There are many variables that affect hardware sizing and the calculations would be more complex than what is suitable for this document. Hardware sizing is best handled by the Consulting Services team that is working on the project.
