Recommended Server Specifications

Minimal Environment

Intended primarily for testing, demo or backup purposes, or for very small environments with only a 1-2 users and limited data imports, in particular limited 3D data processing.

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
Processor: 1.8 GHz per core, 4 cores
Memory: 32 GB
Hard Drive: 1 TB SSD

Small Environment

Single server deployment running all MLSuite components for small projects and 1-4 concurrent users with limited 3D data processing requirements.

Operating System: Windows Server 2012 or 2016
Processor: 3 GHz per core, 8 cores
Memory: 32 GB
Hard Drive 1: 500 GB SSD with 2 partitions
- Partition 1 – 100 GB: Operating System
- Partition 2 – 400 GB: Program Files, backups, archives
Hard Drive 2: 250 GB SSD dedicated to Firebird and PostgreSQL databases
Hard Drive 3: 250 GB SSD for Page file and Temp folder

Medium Environment

Two server deployment, one dedicated to MLWeb, the second for remaining components. This setup will satisfy the most common project requirements for average size projects including medium sized multi-user environments and use of 3D data with infrequent processing.

Operating Systems (each server): Windows Server 2012 or 2016
Processors (each server): 3 GHz per core, 8 cores
Memory (each server): 32 GB
Server 1 (running MLWeb only)
- Hard Drive 1: 250 GB SSD with 2 partitions
  - Partition 1 – 100 GB: Operating System
  - Partition 2 – 150 GB: Program Files
- Hard Drive 2: 250 GB SSD for Page file and Temp folder
Server 2 (running all other components)
- Hard Drive 1: 500 GB SSD with 2 partitions
  - Partition 1 – 100 GB: Operating System
  - Partition 2 – 400 GB: Program Files, backups, archives
- Hard Drive 2: 250 GB SSD dedicated to Firebird and PostgreSQL databases
- Hard Drive 3: 250 GB SSD for Page file and Temp folder

Large Environment

Three server deployment for enterprise sized projects including multi-user access and frequent 3D data processing (such as regular radar data imports).

Operating Systems (each server): Windows Server 2012 or 2016
Processors (each server): 3.5 GHz per core, 8 cores
Memory (each server): 32 GB
Server 1 (running MLWeb only)
- Hard Drive 1: 250 GB SSD with 2 partitions
  - Partition 1 – 100 GB: Operating System
  - Partition 2 – 150 GB: Program Files

Server 2 (running MLServer, MLGateway and Firebird SQL)
- Hard Drive 1: 500 GB SSD with 2 partitions
  - Partition 1 – 100 GB: Operating System
  - Partition 2 – 400 GB: Program Files, backups, archives
- Hard Drive 2: 250 GB SSD dedicated to Firebird databases
- Hard Drive 3: 250 GB SSD for Page file and Temp folder
Server 3 (running PostgreSQL and MLProcessor for 3D data)
- Hard Drive 1: 500 GB SSD with 2 partitions
  - Partition 1 – 100 GB: Operating System
  - Partition 2 – 400 GB: Program Files, backups, archives
- Hard Drive 2: 250 GB SSD dedicated to PostgreSQL databases
- Hard Drive 3: 250 GB SSD for Page file and Temp folder
