SCCM High-Level Architecture Design -The Best Guide

SCCM High-level Architecture design diagram is available for download. I have another post (the latest one) about “SCCM Architecture Decision Making Guide For 2022 Or Later | Best Practices“.

This post deals with I/O performance tests. Also, from the same post, you can get details of a sample scenario with 25k clients. For example, most of the design questions from the hardware specs perspective (for the site server) have been answered.

Which Server do you need to purchase? How much memory? What are the best Disk considerations? CPU and Network configuration?

The Microsoft Internal IT team provides and implements some other beneficial references. These will also help you design an environment (CM 07 and CM 2012).
