Hi,

We are getting new hardware. Our production FME server from 2013 has just 4Gb RAM.

Our idea is 28Gb RAM, 4 cores, 56 Gb storage SSD for OS, 250Gb second SSD disk for FME Server installation, data such as the database and repositories and the temp scratch folder. It will be an on premise virtual machine based - sizing I have based on the D12 Azure sizing.

We are an electric and gas utility with 2 engines for our FME Server. We are running predominately jobs in and out of Oracle Spatial / SDE. The FME Server is not used at the moment for Smallworld to Oracle conversions. This is carried out by the Smallworld Sync manager product.

Anything you would change with the specification?

Thanks,

Annette

Seems like a very solid setup. You're going to run both engines on the same machine? That's the only thing I would recommend considering: moving one of the engines to a different machine to add a bit of stabilty.

Thanks Hans. Yes we will run both engines on the same machine. We are lucky to get one machine :) We also need to upgrade the acceptance server also running 4Gb RAM...I didn't buy them. Our laptops can run the workspaces faster at the moment...
