Server Specification
This page gives some indicative sizings for the servers you will need to run PhixFlow. The exact resource levels you need will depend on the details of your solution, how complex the calculations it has to perform, and how many concurrent users you need to handle. In many virtualised environments it is straightforward to change the level of CPU and memory (see Resizing servers for the server configruation changes you need to make after doing this). It is worth monitoring the performance of PhixFlow and the database to get the right balance of performance and cost.
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.
The indicative sizings are the same regardless of operating system (Windows or linux) and the chosen database.
