Overview
Vital Signs has the potential to capture and manipulate hundreds of millions of rows of data on a daily basis. This volume of data requires a robust server environment to support it with acceptable performance to the end user.
Support Windows Server OSes
- 64bit Server 2003 (All editions)
- 64bit Server 2008 (All editions)
- 64bit Server 2008 R2 (All editions)
Recommended Minimum Configuration
Based on membership, the following should serve as a reasonable guide for producing a capable Vital Signs host server
Membership Size: 0 – 50k members CPU : Dual 2.4ghz + * Memory : 8 GB + Hard Drive Throughput (read/write): 50MB/s + Storage Space : 100GB + Member Base: 51 – 150k members Recommended Minimum Configuration CPU : Quad 2.4ghz + * Memory : 16GB + Hard Drive Throughput (read/write): 100MB/s + Storage Space : 250GB +
Note: must be non Itanium processors
For clients with a member base greater than 50k we highly recommend using a standalone system for the Vital Signs environment. Shared systems can cause undesired memory complications during heavy load times.
Virtual Environments
We recommend when running a virtual environment, that the host be capable of the minimum requirements stated above at peak load times. The virtualization performance hit, especially with hard drive throughput, must be considered when designing the system for maximum long term performance.
Multi Threaded performance
Vital Signs is powered by QlikView Server, which is capable of utilizing up to 64 processors. The server performance will greatly benefit from a multi core system. Processor affinity can be selected in the QlikView Server Control Console area in the scenario of a shared system.
