Hardware Requirements

Guidelines on selecting the correct hardware for your SDL Enrich implementation. The platform supports both basic single-machine implementations and scaled out implementations. Virtualized environments are also supported.

Performance Factors

The performance of SDL Enrich depends primarily on the CPU power and the I/O characteristics of the hardware. The I/O performance largely influences the system's speed to gather and transforms information from other 3rd party software. SDL Enrich imposes no specific requirements for data storage, as it connects data from other 3rd party software to SDL Enrich client applications.

Be aware that the hardware required for a specific SDL Enrich implementation depends on the specific requirements and settings of the project (for example, the number of concurrent users). The exact definition of the hardware requirements is typically done at the beginning of the project.

The server can be on a single system. Due to the many setup variations, you may want to contact the SDL LiveContent support team to discuss your specific setup. To contact Technical Support, connect to the Customer Support Web Portal (http://www.sdl.com/support/ ), and then click on the Log a Ticket link in the Current support system column for your SDL product.

Virtualized environments are supported if they are guaranteed to behave like a Windows OS installed on a physical machine. If performance is, or becomes an issue, you are advised to use physical servers
