Description |
Maximum number of managed devices |
The maximum number of resource devices that the system can manage. The main types of resource devices include network devices, servers, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The number of managed devices is calculated using the following formula: Number of managed devices = Number of billable network devices + (Number of billable server devices / 2) + (Number of billable IoT devices / 10) + (Number of billable other devices / 10). The number of billable devices is calculated as follows: Number of billable devices = Number of enabled devices + Number of devices in custom states + (Number of devices in offline maintenance state / 5). |
