Supported Hardware Configurations
Use the following table to determine hardware requirements for Code Insight components. (Also see Additional Notes about Hardware Requirements and CPU Specifications.)
|
|
|
|
|
Scan Server
|
|
•
|
At least 1.25 TB hard disk space for the following (assuming that the Scan Server and Compliance Library are hosted on the same instance): |
|
•
|
Codebases (materials to be scanned) |
|
•
|
Workspaces (scanned results) |
|
•
|
Compliance Library (approximately 1 TB) |
|
|
•
|
32 GB or 64 GB RAM depending on expected load |
|
•
|
1.5 TB hard disk space for the following (assuming that the Scan Server and Compliance Library are hosted on the same instance): |
|
•
|
Codebases (materials to be scanned) |
|
•
|
Workspaces (scanned results)* |
|
•
|
Compliance Library (approximately 1 TB) |
* Performance can benefit significantly if the workspace directory is located on a Solid State Drive (SSD) drive
|
|
Core Server
|
|
•
|
At least 650 MB of space for product and attachments |
See the Database Server entry below if hosting both Core Server and database on the same machine
|
|
•
|
32 GB RAM (required if Core Server and database reside on same machine) |
|
•
|
30 GB of space for product and attachments |
See the Database Server entry below if hosting both Core Server and database on the same machine
|
|
Client

|
Database Server

Database Sizing:
|
•
|
The recommendation is that you have a DBA configure your database as you would for any other Enterprise Web Application. |
|
•
|
For disk space, the recommendation is to start with a base of 30 GB (for SQL Server, 50 GB) to accommodate the Code Insight Data Libraries and other data related to users, teams, projects, and such. |
If you install the database on the same machine as the Core Server, calculate the hard-drive requirement by adding the database base size to the recommended Core Server disk space. (Also see Additional Notes about Hardware Requirements.)
|
•
|
After starting with the base size, scale up by 2 MB for every 5,000 files scanned. Begin by estimating how much you will scan in the first 6 months, and add that to the 30 GB base size. |
|
•
|
As for data volume, Code Insight does not move enormous amounts of data, nor does it have extremely high concurrent transaction rates. |
|
Additional Notes about Hardware Requirements
Note the following about hardware requirements:
|
•
|
Ensure that you allocate sufficient buffer pool size to the database. Otherwise, the Electronic Update might not complete. For MySQL, set the innodb buffer pool size to a minimum of 1 G (innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1G). |
|
•
|
For SQL Server, it is strongly recommended that the database and the Core Server reside on the same machine (with a minimum hard-drive requirement of 50 GB for the database and 30 GB for the Core Server, for a total of 80 GB). |
