System Complexity

This topic is only applicable to on-premises installations.

The size of your Archer environment depends upon the complexity of your system. Size your system resources appropriately to get the most out of Archer.

To determine the size of your environment:

  1. Determine your largest factor from the following:

    • Number of concurrent users
    • Content records
    • Number of significant data feeds
    • Number of applications enabled for Advanced Workflow

  2. Use the following chart to find your environment size.

    The following chart describes details about the different environment sizes.

    Environment Size

    Number of Concurrent Users

    Content Records

    Number of Significant Data Feeds

    Number of Applications Enabled for Advanced Workflow

    Small

    Up to 100

    Less than 100,000

    1 - 2

    1 - 4

    Medium

    100 - 250

    100,000 - 250,000

    3 -5

    5 to 9

    Large

    250 - 750

    250,000 -750,000

    6 - 9

    10 to 20

    Very Large

    More than 750

    More than 750,000

    10 or more

    20 or more

    Important: To use the Advanced Workflow feature, use the feature-specific sizing guidelines in Advanced Workflow Deployment Size Recommendations. If your deployment meets the criteria of a very large deployment for any of the categories, contact your Archer sales representative for additional hardware sizing assistance.

API

The Web Services API, RESTful API, and Content API have minimal impact on server performance. APIs run on the same Web Severs that end users interact with. No additional hardware allocation is necessary.
