Understand system size references

Throughout this guide, guidelines and configuration information for small, medium, and large system sizes are referred to.

However, to simplify the discussion, this guide focuses on a medium-size system that has been qualified to determine the performance levels that could be achieved. Key configuration parameters for the various MES servers are provided for medium-sized systems similar to this performance‑qualified system.

The qualification testing methods and the performance results for the performance‑qualified system are provided in Example: Performance qualification of a medium-sized MES system and Performance Test Results. This performance information can assist you with determining the system configuration parameters that you would choose to deploy an MES system that meets your performance requirements within the system resources that are available to you.
