Table 1-1 Required hardware for framework server
| System Size | Cores | Real Memory (GB) | File System (GB) | PMDB Storage (GB) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small systems (5-20 instances) | 2-4 | 4-10 | 20-50 | 20-50 | |
| Medium systems (20-100 instances) | 4-8 | 10-32 | 20-50 | 80-200 | |
| Large systems (100-500 instances) | 8-16 | 32-80 | 20-50 | 400-2000 | See About Large Environments. |
On large systems, it is recommended to use two servers; one for the framework and one for the PMDB. You should also put the PMDB on an external storage system.
