Data Synchronizer System Requirements; Data Synchronizer Server Requirements - Novell DATA SYNCHRONIZER - INSTALLATION GUIDE 07-2010 Installation Manual

A single-server Synchronizer system can meet the synchronization needs of approximately 200 to
300 users, depending on the amount of synchronization traffic generated by those users. Consider
the following information when setting up your Synchronizer system, as you may need to set up
multiple Synchronizer servers:
Number of Users: You need to support synchronization for more than 200 to 300 users.
Location of Users: You need to support users that are located in distant geographical locations
where synchronization performance could be adversely affected by the network connections
between users and the applications that they want to synchronize data with.
Location of Synchronized Applications: Applications for which data is being synchronized
have meaningful organizational segments (for example, GroupWise domains and post offices).
Having a Synchronizer server associated with each organizational segment would help balance
the synchronization load across all users of the application.
Quality of Service: Certain segments of your user population, such as executives of your
organization, might expect and require a higher level of synchronization performance than
typical users. This higher quality of service can be accomplished by setting up a small
Synchronizer system specifically for such high profile users.
Connector-specific considerations for implementing a multi-server Synchronizer system are covered
in each connector's

1.2 Data Synchronizer System Requirements

You, as a Synchronizer administrator, must ensure that the Synchronizer server meets Synchronizer
system requirements, so that your Synchronizer system can function successfully.

1.2.1 Data Synchronizer Server Requirements

Hardware requirements for the Synchronizer server:
64-bit/x86 processor
2.2 GHz processor; multi-processor system recommended
4 GB RAM
45 MB of disk space for the Synchronizer software
200 GB of disk space recommended for data storage during system operation
Data storage disk space varies widely depending on the amount of data being
synchronized, the number of users participating in synchronization, the logging level for
Synchronizer log files, and other variables specific to your Synchronizer system
implementation.
