Database Server

Minimum hardware requirements

Type	Requirement	Notes
Processor	2.6 GHz Dual Core or 2x 3.0+ GHz Processors	Dual processing capability with multiple cores in a processor or separate physical processors.
Physical Memory	3 GB RAM
Hard Disk Drive		For EA workspaces, approximately 60x size in bytes of the application source code modeled in EA (for example, 100 MB source = 6 GB).

The minimum configuration can be up to four concurrent Queue Processors while providing reasonable response time. To improve performance, one of the following upgrades should be used:

Use faster storage, for example use SSD or storage arrays in RAID0. SSD improves the performance of verification by 33%. 2x SCSI 15000 rpm gives a similar performance improvement.
Use 8 GB of RAM. Increasing the amount of RAM improves the performance of verification by 15% when using more Queue Processors.
Network latency between database server and repository server and users should be less than 1ms.

Recommended hardware configuration

This is the recommended hardware configuration. The changes from the minimum configuration are marked in bold.

Type	Requirement	Note
Processor	2.6 GHz Dual Core or 2x 3.0+ GHz Processors	Dual processing capability with multiple cores in a processor or separate physical processors.
Physical Memory	8 GB RAM
Hard Disk Drive	SSD or SCSI 15000 rpm in RAID0	For EA workspaces, approximately 60x size in bytes of the application source code modeled in EA (for example, 100 MB source = 6 GB).

Performance Configuration

You get 33% improved performance of verification.

Type	Requirement	Note
Processor	Xeon CPU E5310 or Core i7 3770
Physical Memory	8 GB
Hard Disk Drive	2x SCSI 15000 rpm RAID0 or 240GB SSD

Note: Performance configuration can support up to 16 concurrent Queue Processors. Note that user activity through the online tool should be counted as an active Queue Processor.
