Memory

For memory requirements, refer to the Readme file that is provided with the current version of the MES software. See System Requirements in the MES Readme File.

On a running system, there should be at least 30% available memory. Use a performance monitor to track memory usage over time to detect possible problems with memory usage.

On the database server, SQL Server has configuration options to limit the maximum amount of memory it can consume. The database server will be the largest consumer of memory in a MES solution. See the SQL Server documentation to learn about limits based on the version being used. SQL Server might require its own node without any other applications running on it for larger systems or if IT has such a requirement.
