Legacy Content Delivery hardware requirements

Before you install or upgrade Legacy Content Delivery , you must check the hardware requirements prior to completing the pre-installation tasks.

Know that the hardware required for a specific 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.

Web and Application layer

The server can be on a single system. However, for performance reasons it is advised to scale and have redundancy over multiple servers. The System Architecture document helps you determine the setup. Due to the many setup variations, you may want to contact the support team to discuss your specific setup.

The minimum server configuration: A recent quad core system(s) containing 8 GB of RAM or more. 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 a physical server.

A recommended server configuration should include a quad core Xeon® X5550 2.66 GHz processor system with at least 12 MB Level 3 cache and 8 GB RAM, dual port Gigabit Ethernet, and a smart array RAID controller with 256 MB memory.

Network requirements

A 10 Mbit network connection provides a more than acceptable throughput.
