Server Architecture Overview

PhixFlow is built on a single Java-based architecture i.e. it is not made up of several products with different architectures bolted together. There are two main elements in the server architecture:

Typical Server Sizes

The following are typical server sizes for small, medium and large installations. For large installations we recommend that you engage a PhixFlow consultant to verify requirements and analyse data volumes to be processed and retained within PhixFlow. Please note, that backup/recovery capacity is excluded in these sizing estimates.

2       Note that these figures indicate the amount of database disk storage required which scales with the amount of raw and result data configured to be retained by PhixFlow. Some implementations with a high number of daily records but which only maintain problematic data may require less space than this.

Database Server Disk Configuration

For medium and large implementations the database should be configured for high performance throughput. In particular database performance is significantly affected by the way that the database server disks are configured. Organisations requiring this size of server will generally have their own database administrators who are familiar with this level of planning, however, for clarity the following shows recommendations when setting up a medium installation:
