SLA – How big is the impact of SLA’s on the DMA performance

Hi,

we have quite some load on our DMA and want assure to properly estimate the performance needed for SLAs.

So how big is the impact of SLA’s on the performance in general?
For example: Are 10 SLAs like one element performance wise? So we have a general feeling how much SLAs can be handeled on a DMA besides "normal" elements.
Used is the Skyline SLA Definition Basic 2.0.0.38 Protocol.

Hi Thomas,

You can have a look at our DataMiner metrics to get an estimation of how many SLAs can be handled in a DMA (or in a DMS)

When I read this correctly, then 1 SLA is equal to 1 element!

That is a big problem on a scaling perspective, because for one SLA there is also one service needed.

Currently we use SLAs for our TV Boutique, which are around 400 Programs! That would use up on DMA in theory. (In practice this is working for approximately 2 years, beside 340 other “normal” elements)

Is there a more efficient way to get Availability, Longest Violation Time, Number of Violations, Total Violation Time as Parameter per Program in a report, then create a SLA for every single program? (programs are from the IneoQuest iVMS Protocol Program Table)
