Server
This section lists the requirements for an on-premise installation of BellaDati. If you are using BellaDati Cloud, these requirements do not apply to you.
Hardware
In an on-premise environment, a BellaDati installation consists of an application server and a database. These can run on the same computer or on different machines. For evaluation purposes, it is usually sufficient to run both server and database on the same computer, e.g. a developer workstation.
BellaDati hardware requirements mainly depend on the amount of data being processed and the number of concurrent requests during peak hours. To ensure optimal performance under any circumstances, we group our hardware requirements in 3 tiers depending on usage characteristics. Please note that even so, these configurations can only be guidelines and actual performance can heavily depend on your usage pattern.
We would appreciate if you could let us know what hardware configuration works in your environment. Please create a ticket in our support system, describing your hardware configuration as well as the number of users and data records in your BellaDati installation.
