Example server sizes in an enterprise deployment
Enterprise organizations might have four environments—development, staging, test, and production—with three servers in each environment.
The server requirements for such a scenario would be as follows:
| Env. | Server name | CPU cores * | RAM | OS drive space | Application drive space | More information |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prod | TEXTML Server | 16 | 64 GB | 300 MB | 1 GB (if file agent used) | Note 1 |
| CCMS Output Generator | 4 | 8-10 GB | 200 MB | 5 GB | ||
| Application | 2 | 4 GB | 0 MB | 2 GB | ||
| Staging | TEXTML Server | 16 | 64 GB | 300 MB | 1 GB | Note 1 |
| CCMS Output Generator | 4 | 8-10 GB | 200 MB | 5 GB | ||
| Application | 2 | 4 GB | 0 MB | 2 GB | ||
| Prod | Citrix/RDP Farm (3 machines) |
12 | 48 GB | 100 MB | 2 GB | Note 2 |
| Test | TEXTML Server | 8 | 16 GB | 300 MB | 1 GB | Note 1 |
| CCMS Output Generator | 2 | 8 GB | 200 MB | 5 GB | ||
| Application | 2 | 3 GB | 0 MB | 2 GB | ||
| Dev | TEXTML Server | 8 | 16 GB | 300 MB | 1 GB | Note 1 |
| CCMS Output Generator | 2 | 8 GB | 200 MB | 5 GB | ||
| Application | 2 | 3 GB | 0 MB | 2 GB | ||
| Test | Citrix/RDP Farm (2 machines) |
8 | 12 GB | 100 MB | 2 GB | Note 3 |
* Not counting hyper-threading
Notes:
- Data drives:
- Prod and Staging require a data drive of 1 x the Content Store size (CSS). It must be a direct block device. If a File Agent is used, Prod and Staging also require a backup data drive of 1 x CSS. This drive can be replaced with a UNC target or snapshot.
- Test requires a data drive of 1 x CSS. It must be a direct block device. (NAS is not supported). If it is a Virtual Disk; the VMDK or VHDX can be hosted over NFS or SMB.
- Dev requires a data drive of 2-3 x CSS. It must be a direct block device. (NAS is not supported). If it is a Virtual Disk, the VMDK or VHDX can be hosted over NFS or SMB. Typically, more than one copy of the dataset is present in the Dev environment.
- Production Citrix/RDP Farm
-
Hosts 70 total (45 concurrent) CCMS Desktop and 50 total (30 concurrent) CCMS Web users.
- Requires a dedicated shared drive for 1.4 to 3.5 M files with 70 to 150 GB of total disk space.
- The Remote Application Server requires either quad-core (hyper-threading does not count) with 8 GB of RAM for 5 users or 8-core (hyper-threading does not count) with 12 GB of RAM for 10 users. It requires a dedicated drive to store the local data for each user; about 1 GB per user.
-
- Test Citrix/RDP Farm: Hosts 10 concurrent CCMS Desktop users and 10 concurrent CCMS Web users.
