Hi all,
Does anyone know of any standard rules-of-thumb for doing WebI network capacity planning? For example:
Average data transfer during user login.
Average data transfer during report refresh.
Average overall data transfer per concurrent user.
etc…
I realize these are tough to calculate (lots of variables, size of reports, user security configuration, DB drivers, version of BO, etc). I’m just looking for a ballpark – something to change my guess from being “random” to “educated”
These are the only threads I was able to find:
for those of you out there dealing with bigger deployments, how many servers would you recommend at a minimum (processors) for this type of community? 90% of our users will be using 5i reports only (we are not using very many webi reports at all)… considerable more resource intensive i know.
we have some hardware (and cost) constraints and right now i’m looking at 2 servers (a quad 900mhz and a dual 1.3 ghz both with 2 gb’s RAM)… will that suffice?

These new products are plastered all over BO’s home page at the moment. Has anyone looked at/considered/bought them?
Any comments?

Hi,
Has anyone performed a network analysis of how much traffic is generated with WebI? and even Dashboard Manager? I’m probably looking for worst case scenario that may involve a multi-page full-client doc viewed through WebI. Or for DM, high graffic content multiple component page.
(I know that I can probably measure this by using a sniffer, but I was looking for a quicker documented answer since I don’t have the tools readily available to me…unless there is some sort of freeware that cou…
We’re looking at deploying BusinessObjects 5i and WebI 2.6 in a 200 user (some day 1000?) environment and need to spec out both an NT and a UNIX machine (quad processors?). Does anyone out there have a white paper on optimal hardware specs (or how to calculate them?). I’m thinking they’ll only need one box to get started (200 users, not many concurrent)…
Our client has yet to determine whether they are going NT or UNIX so I’ll need to spec both…
THANKS!!
