Sizing an Infrastructure

There are a number of questions to answer if you are thinking about an expandable User base that goes beyond what a single server can serve:

• What is the total number of Users I want to support?
• What is the typical number of parallel Users that I need to support?
• Are there any peak of usage where a high percentage of your Users might flood the system? If so what does that look like?

Once you have those numbers, then consider:

• Is your SQL Server sized correctly?
• Can your internal and external network pipe support such traffic?
• How much hardware do you need for the different Cherwell Services?
