The following Installation and Sizing Guidelines are intended to support you with setting up the UMS environment - UMS Server, UMS Console & UMS Web App, Database, and, if required, load balancer and ICG instances.
The size and structure of the UMS setup depend mainly on the following criteria:
- Number of devices
- High Availablity
- ICG connection for devices outside of your company network
General Preconditions
The Installation and Sizing Guidelines apply for a standard UMS setup and describe the most common UMS environments. Any individual exceptions or requirements may not be covered by these scenarios.
- System requirements: UMS 6.05 and ICG 2.02 and newer
- UMS components (UMS Server, UMS Load Balancer, UMS Console, and database) are located in the same internal LAN (no NAT, no proxies). If there is a firewall, it must be configured according to UMS Communication Ports.

- Devices outside of the internal LAN are connected via ICG.
- Devices are not booted/rebooted frequently (once a day on average).
- A maximum of 10 different firmware versions is managed via UMS.
- UMS backups and exports are not permanently stored on the UMS server host.
