Oracle DataLens Server Example Hardware Configurations

The following sections describe example server configurations of Oracle DataLens Servers. Your environment may require additional cores to facilitate processing speed based on the number of clients accessing the servers, as well as, the number of DSA and data lens and frequency of checking them in and out.

Oracle recommends that you contact Oracle Consulting Services for assistance in identifying the optimum configuration to support your requirements.

Entry Level System Configuration

One Administration/Development Server (1)

Administration/Development Server with 4 Cores / 16 GB RAM

One Server Group with One Production Server (1)

Production Server with 4 Cores / 16 GB RAM

Oracle recommends that customers proceed with a multi-tiered server configuration of one Administrative Server and one Production Server. The Production Server is recommended to be a four core box.

Mid-Level System Configuration

One Administration/Development Server (1)

Administration/Development Server with 8 Cores / 32 GB RAM

One Server Group with One Production Server (1)

Production Server each with 8 Cores / 32 GB RAM
