10 Production Deployment of Oracle Real-Time Decisions

After an Inline Service is tested and ready for production deployment, you will deploy it to one or more servers for production. The hardware requirements for your system depend on whether you choose an all-in-one configuration, or a full deployment configuration. System configuration may need to be adjusted based upon specific customer requirements and application characteristics.

This chapter contains the following topics:

• Section 10.1, "All-In-One Configuration"

• Section 10.2, "Full Deployment Configuration"

10.1 All-In-One Configuration

An All-In-One configuration supports a proof of concept or pilot-type implementation. The intent is not to support a system in production for an unspecified length of time, but to allow the customer to better understand the benefits of deploying an Inline Intelligence solution. The configuration supports approximately 100 account managers, or about 50 call center agents.

Table 10-1 lists the hardware requirements for an All-In-One configuration.

Table 10-1 Hardware Requirements for All-In-One Configuration

Hardware	Minimum Configuration
J2EE Application Server	WebLogic
Operating System	Windows
Number of CPUs	2
CPU	2+ GHz
RAM	2 GB
Hard Drive	100 GB
Database	SQL Server, Oracle Database, or DB2

10.2 Full Deployment Configuration

The Full Deployment configuration supports an implementation of approximately 1500 B2B Account Managers or 1000 call center agents in a production environment. There are a number of factors that determine the system configuration. They include the peak number of requests per second, the number of choices, the number and size of models, and the number of data sources. The Oracle Corporation Professional Services Group can assist in determining the most appropriate configuration for your business and technical requirements.

Table 10-2 lists the hardware requirements for a Full Deployment Configuration.

Table 10-2 Hardware Requirements for Full Deployment Configuration

Server	Component	Minimum Configuration
Decision Servers (2)	CPU	2 x 2-CPU, 2+GHz, 2GB RAM
	J2EE Application Server	Standalone OC4J, Oracle Application Server, WebSphere, or WebLogic
	Operating System	Windows, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, or Linux
Database ServerFoot 1	CPU	4-CPU, 2+GHz, 8GB RAM
	DBMS	SQL Server, Oracle Database, or DB2
Learning ServerFoot 2	CPU	2-CPU, 2+GHz, 2GB RAM
	J2EE Application Server	Standalone OC4J, Oracle Application Server, WebSphere, or WebLogic
	Operating System	Windows, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, or Linux

^Footnote 1 The ratio of database server CPUs to Real-Time Decision Server CPUs is approximately 1:1.

^Footnote 2 The ratio of Learning Server CPUs to Real-Time Decision Server CPUs is approximately 1:4.
