Graphics cards

TopSolid'Pdm 7 server recommended

• Dedicated server
• CPU: Intel® Xeon® 3.3 GHz or higher, 4 physical cores for less than 30 simultaneous PDM users
• RAM : 16GB
• Disk Controller: RAID5 Controller SSD
• Hard drives : 3 * 500GB 7.2K RPM SATA 3Gbps 3.5in
• Network card : 1Gbps network card
• Large storage capacity (1TB minimum): This capacity can be much higher depending on your products (Moulds, factory layout, ...)
• Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Express Edition (supplied with TopSolid 7) for a maximum of 10 simultaneous users
• Beyond 10 users or as soon as the database reaches the size of 10 GB, it is necessary to :
  • Migrate from the Microsoft SQL Server Express version to the Microsoft SQL Server Standard version.
  • Acquire a CAL license for each user
• More than 30 users:
  • It is necessary to apply the following rule to size the processor: 8 users per physical core (i.e. 4 users per logical processor).
  • If the load is too heavy, it is recommended to separate the SQL Server installation on another Windows Server machine.
  •  RAM can be increased to improve SQL Server memory caching and Windows File Caching.
