Required Hardware and Operating System

Demonstration / Test Environment

For a demonstration/test environment, all components of the Symaptic Web and Mobile Package can be installed on a single server. The Symaptic Web and Mobile Package has been prepared for a virtually drag and drop installation  on a 64 bit Windows operating system. All components do, however, operate in 32 bit and/or Linux operating systems, however, further configuration and/or downloading and configuration of the 32 bit version of the different components will be required.

Number of CPUs Memory Disk Operating System
4 At least 16gb 100gb Windows 64 bit* / Linux

* Windows 64 bit is recommended to get started quickly as the Symaptic Package has been precompiled for the Windows 64 bit environments

Production Environment

Depending on the number of users and the extent to which the Symaptic components will be accessed, a single server environment such as that described above in the Demonstration/Test Environment may be sufficient. Where heavy use is required, improved performance will be achieved by separating out the different components onto different servers – see the example below. It is recommended you start small and increase the servers and their specifications as and when required.

Server Description Number of CPUs Memory Disk Operating System
Postgres Database 8 At least 16gb 100gb Windows 64 bit* / Linux
GeoServer 8 At least 16gb 100gb Windows 64 bit* / Linux
Solr 8 At least 16gb 100gb Windows 64 bit* / Linux
Apache 8 At least 16gb 50gb Windows 64 bit* / Linux
Smallworld Extract Server (or can be combined with an existing Job Server if you have one) 8 At least 16gb 50gb Windows 64 bit* / Linux

* 64 bit Windows is recommended to get started quickly as the Symaptic Web and Mobile Package has been precompiled for Windows environments
