Does Lumira deserve its own dedicated server?

We have the option to install Lumira on the same server as our BO environment or on a separate server. Is there any reason it should have its own dedicated server(s)?

We project a customer base of up to 200 concurrent Lumira users and 400 BO/WebI and Crystal users.

As Lumira seems to be very resource hungry for RAM I would install the Lumira BIP Add-on on a dedicated node as part of my SAP BI 4.1 cluster.

If you are not referring to this add-on, which essentially installs an Adapative Job Server for Lumira on your existing SAP BI 4.1 platform, but a stand-alone Lumira implementation isntead I would definitey install it on a separate server. Just think patching nightmares for starters :shock:

I did not realize that the add-on existed!? :shock:

How much additional ram/cpu should we bump our servers up to account for the usage of lumira on our current BI 4.1 servers? We have a clustered environment, should we cluster our Lumira servers as well?
