This section covers in detail the SoftExpert Suite hardware requirements for the application server and the database server.

 

ATTENTION

These hardware requirements are based on the normal use of the solution. If the Analytics component is being used to analyze data from other databases or to create complex integrations in the BPM module, please contact SoftExpert for a customized analysis of the requirements before implementation.

The requirements mentioned in this section are applicable from version 2.1.0 of SoftExpert Suite to its latest version.

1 - Base processor: Intel Xeon Gold 5118 @ 2.30GHz

2 - Values considering a database with only the SoftExpert Suite base.

 

It is necessary for the server in which the installation or update of the SoftExpert Suite will be performed to have at least 50 GB of free space.

Executing the application in a server with requirements below those recommended may result in an inadequate performance.

SoftExpert Suite may be installed in a virtual server infrastructure, but the requirements described above should be allocated to the VM (Virtual machine) on which the solution will be installed.

The network bandwidth and the disk IOPS must be compatible with a server environment. SoftExpert suggests, for the application server, the use of 15k RPM SAS disks or SSD.

It is highly recommended that the database server is installed in a distinct server, that is, the database must not be installed in the same server used by the application.

The performance of the database server will directly affect the performance of the application. Thus, it is highly recommended to check if the database infrastructure will support the SoftExpert solution.

It is highly advisable for the user content (document files) to be stored on another server or in a NAS (Network Attached Storage).

High network latency may result in a low navigation performance. The recommended value is 40 ms at most.

 

In the case of multiple SoftExpert Suite installations, the number of users of each installation must be added up. For example, if there are two bases for the same server – one for the approval environment and another for the production environment –, the number of users in the two environments must be added in order for the server configuration to be set.

The equipment is considered to be dedicated for the execution of SoftExpert Suite and its requirements, without concurrency of other software and DBMSs on the same equipment (if that occurs, consider the sum of the requirements of each software involved).
