Infrastructure examples

This page describes four examples of the infrastructure of Miradore. The purpose of these examples is to clarify the role of different infrastructure components and visualize how Miradore could be installed in some common scenarios.

Example 1: How to manage a small number of computers

This picture describes a scenario where Miradore server is installed to a local network to manage computers.

In small environments (less than 10 000 managed devices), the Miradore database can be installed to the same server as Miradore instance. However, if there is more than 2000 devices in the environment, it is recommended to install the Standard edition of the SQL Server 2017 (the installer installs Express edition by default). If all devices are located within the local network, it is also possible to use the Miradore server as an installation point to enable consolidated software deployment and initial installation of computers.

Example 2: How to manage a large number of computers and mobile devices running Android or iOS

This picture describes a scenario where Miradore and the Miradore database are installed to separate, dedicated servers to improve the performance with a large number of managed devices.

In this picture, Miradore instance and the Miradore database have both own dedicated servers, which improves the system performance when dealing with a large amount of assets.

Also the Network discovery utility has been installed to some Windows-computer in the local environment. With the help of network discovery, it is possible to detect all network-connected devices from the network.

Miradore (previously Miradore Online) cloud service can be used to manage Android and iOS mobile devices.

Example 3: How an MSP can manage a large amount of computers and Android and iOS mobile devices over the Internet.

This picture describes a scenario where Miradore server is installed to Managed Service Provider's network and used to manage computers and mobile devices over the Internet.

In this scenario, the Miradore instance and the Miradore database have both own dedicated servers. If necessary, the Managed Services Provider can use the same servers to host multiple instances of Miradore.

The rest of the infrastructure components including client deployer, some installation points, network discovery utility, and connectors are installed to the customer company's local network to minimize the data transfers over slow connections and demand for open ports.

Miradore (previously Miradore Online) cloud service can be used to manage Android and iOS mobile devices.

Example 4: How to manage a very large number of computers and provide mobile device management for Android and iOS devices.

This picture describes a scenario where Miradore front-end server and Miradore database server have been installed to a local network to provide consolidated management for a very large amount of computers and mobile devices running on various operating systems.

This picture demonstrates a scenario where Miradore server and Miradore database have been installed on separate, dedicated servers.

Most of the management infrastructure components like SNMP scanner, network discovery, and client deployer are installed to the local network, but not on the Miradore server.

Miradore (previously Miradore Online) cloud service can be used to manage Android and iOS devices.
