<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Friday Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We’re beginning the process of looking at a speedy Dell windows server for a MGOS3.1/Rest/custom viewer installation for a concurrent user base of 10-20 staff. (total staff 100-150) We rely heavily on tile definitions, load procedures and
MS SQL vector data sources with many filters/expressions/theming<span style="color:#1F497D">/</span>schema overrides on the layers. FDO is looking at gdal rasters, shape and MS sql.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We currently run a Intel E5-2690 (8 core, 16 thread) processor with all MG service<span style="color:#1F497D">s</span> on that hardware server. It runs no other applications. What we can gleam form our setup is that the
<u>per-core performance</u> seems to be more important than <u>RAM</u> or <u>number of cores</u> of a MGOS installation in our configuration. This is because<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>RAM and # cores is generous on most servers these days.<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>We are studying <a href="https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html"><span style="color:windowtext">https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html</span></a><span style="color:#1F497D"> .
</span>Can anyone confirm that <u>per-core performance</u> is what we are really after or provide additional advice<span style="color:#1F497D">?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
