I've been tasked with designing an EV10 environment for a new customer of ours. a quick rundown on client environment
The customer also requires Discovery accelerator
I'm not concerned about sizing of databases or storage, I've written my own calculator and I'm happy with it.I have read the new EV 10 system requirements, and this is where I have concerns. Based on my experience, anything above 4vCPU you start running into possible CPU contention issues, with sometimes appalling performance as a result (this is very evident on SQL servers).
So, my suggested solution is 1 EV server, 1 Indexing server, 1 DA server, server specs, below
EV server 1 (Storage)
EV server 2 (indexing)
EV server 3 (DA)
Note: SQL backend is share clustered physical servers, hence reason I've purposedly left out.
While we could run a single 8 vCPU server for storage and indexing, I believe we would get better performance out of the specs above. Virtual machines would run on separate hosts. What are your thoughts on this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

For the storage, wouldn't bother allocating that much memory to it, i'd scale down that 4GB and give the extra 12GB to the indexing server, remembering that the core of EV is still a 32bit application, its only the indexing that is 64Bit
