Info

This topic lists the minimum system requirements to run Aptify 5.5.3 in various environments. Note that these requirements are only an estimate; an individual client's requirements may vary. For example, a client’s disk array solution will depend on projected transactions per minute. This needs to account for orders, queries, web transactions and other types of database transactions.

Disk Subsystem requirements vary greatly from customer to customer due to factors such as transactional throughput and capacity. Because of this, Aptify is unable to make complete recommendations of the required storage solution. The examples given for each hardware class should be used as a starting point for understanding the storage requirements to be implemented in your system.

If you would like to virtualize your environment please consult with Aptify’s Infrastructure Specialists for additional recommendations.
