I have taken over a space that has NPM installed currently with a Web Server and separate SQL server. The specs on both boxes are up to snuff with what NFA needs, so my question is what box, SQL or NPM, do I need to beef up to meet the requirements for all three products?
Or What would be decent specs to start off with to use all three products? Our current network size is <100 devices, but expected to reach that before too long.
