AEM Hardware Sizing

Hi,

I need to arrive at Hardware sizing for a proposed AEM solution considering Data Center ( 2 node AA cluster) and DR (2 node AP cluster) for 200 concurrent users.

Production Author Instance: OS, Hard Disk size, RAM size, CPU Cores and any other parameters.

Production Publish Instance: OS, Hard Disk size, RAM size, CPU Cores and any other parameters.

Web Server: OS, Hard Disk, RAM, CPU Cores and any other parameters.

I visited multiple URLs on this topic, but all these are at a high level.

Arriving at these numbers is very difficult by reading them.

With so many scenarios and parameters around, I risk sounding too generic in my query.

Of course, we could make some assumptions.

Could you please guide me here?

Appreciate your responses.

Thanks,

Rama.

Data Center 2 node AA cluster. Is this Author Author cluster? Are you using Mongo? There is no clustering with TarMK

DR 2 node AP Cluster. Is this Author Publish? Again you mention cluster.

Which resources have you checked, it would be good to see the list. 

[0] Is still the best place to start.

Hi Opkar,

       AA--> Active Active.

       Using Mongo (to support horizontal scalability and huge UGC, even if means taking some beating on performance)

DR 2 node AP Cluster. Is this Author Publish? Again you mention cluster.

       DR --> Disaster Recovery

       AP  --> Active Passive

Which resources have you checked, it would be good to see the list.

Thanks Rama,

in your configuration can you specify how many author and how many publish instances you have?

Also, a Publish Mongo cluster is not recommended, you can use MSRP[0] on the publish tier to support UGC.
