Performance Guidelines |
|
|
The following information is provided as a general guide to performance. Actual performance is dependent on factors such as:
| • | Processors |
| • | Memory |
| • | Storage speed |
| • | Number of users viewing dashboards and reports |
| • | Number of form transactions (loading and submitting of forms) |
The following standard hardware requirements assume a regular usage profile in a workflow environment:
| • | A dedicated Web server with 2GB of memory and a 1.86GHz dual-core Xeon processor. |
| • | A dedicated database server with 2GB of memory and a 1.86GHz dual-core Xeon processor. |
| • | All users are on a local area network and there is no significant background network traffic. |
Systems that are running a large number of surveys may have different requirements if large numbers of e-mail-based form invitations are sent out at once; resulting in heavy burst traffic. Workflow applications or forms spread the load more evenly throughout the work day.
The following represents a standard transaction load profile:
| • | 50% Dashboard queries (users viewing their dashboard and Needs Attention graphs) |
| • | 25% Form loads |
| • | 17% Form submissions |
| • | 8% Browsing form lists |
As a result of this user activity, the system will also be generating notifications. This standard transaction load profile excludes reporting activity as this can run on a separate server if required.
