Hardware Setup

[michaelangelo]

Hi,

Just want to ask what is your hardware setup for your alfresco server?
1. Server Specification
2. Are you using a Storage like DAS or SAS? if so what is the brand and how did you implement it? What is the size of your storage?
3. What is your Base Operating System (Linux, Windows Etc)?

We are trying to decide on how or what will be the best hardware implementation for our alfresco server. We would probably need at least 50TB of space since we have a lot of data that will go into it (Considering the scalability of the storage as well). Plus we are projecting around 200 users that will access the system (not concurrent). I was looking for any project cases that could probably point me to what I am trying to achieve but i'm having a hard time finding one.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Mike,

You should check out the below links -

http://docs.alfresco.com/4.2/concepts/zeroday-overview.html

It has 3 sections which should help you in getting started -
<li>Day Zero architecture validation
<li>Day Zero environment validation
<li>Day Zero configuration

Not sure if you're still looking for info, but others may be in the future too…

1) VMWare guest, 2 vCPU (mid-range AMD) and 4 GiB RAM. (These both seem to be sufficient so far)
2) We're using an iSCSI share on a large NAS.  2 TiB.  (So far it's overkill, but we may expand the stuff we store eventually and we won't have to re-provision then)
3) Windows 2012R2 Data Center x64.  (If I had to do it again I'd strongly consider Linux as I hear it's easier to setup CIFS on)
