Preface

Purpose

This document is designed to offer guidance on the topics involved in sizing a server for an Oracle MICROS Simphony version 19.3.x system, as well as provide minimum specifications for hardware purchases. The server configurations published in this document are based on analysis of data collected in lab and production environments and designed to offer the best possible performance.

Due to the fact that many environments have nuances specific to them, these guidelines should be used as a starting point when selecting server hardware. Once a system has gone live in the production environment, it may be necessary to modify the server configuration to account for customer specific requirements and conditions.

Audience

This document is intended for users of Simphony.
