I would recommend or rather choose going with the local install as its performance is any day better when compared to the remote ones i have seen till date. One simple reason would be that i would have to look at lesser components while managing/upgrading the setup. If i were in client mode, i would have to look at UNIVMAX, the SE on the same server and the SE on SYMAPI server (the one that has GK's) before considering any change or upgrade. As i said, performance of UNIVMAX in local is better than that in remote mode.  Regards,Roshan Raju.
Hi All,  I have a question that was asked to me by a customer and would like to leverage all of your expertise and experiences. Customer asked what would be a EMC's best practices advised in regards for either installing a client\server remote unisphere install or a local symapi install. They want to know essentially which enviroment is better performance for data collection... They noticed that on the client\server model, the host cannot ingest a large number of luns (17k-20k), where as on the local host install, the same arrays are ingested with no issues..  Any recommendations?  Thanks!
U4VMAX Local VS. Remote? (client\server)
