Server specs and performance
January 15, 2009, 06:12:14 am
I am wanting to start offerring CiviCRM as an option to some clients. However I am concerned about the performance hits on other clients on my dedicated box.

Here is the basic server spec:
HP ProLiant DL120 Rack Server
Dual Core Xeon 3065 2.33 GHz
4GB DDR2 800Mhz ECC RAM

If a client has 5-10 users on CiviCRM doing basic admin then what amount of queries and requets will this generate?

Love to have some specific feedback from real world users

cheers

Low enough. The issue is rather the other way around and, say, a big fat download on another site might impact the users of civicrm. What we do is to use separate IP addresses and different servers (fastcgi) for the crm and the "normal" websites. That allows to change the tunning/priority/whatever if needed.

The only big heavy stuff are the import & the dedupe.
I'd wait until the next version for CiviMail, that's way easier to install.

Thanks xavier.

Different servers arent an option at the moment though seperate ip on same server is...I guess i was expecting someone to say 'ooh no you need at least xxx' . Is there a minimum spec? Is this hardware setup comfortable enough to run Civi on a day to day use?

If that's only normal use, the load will be 0.0 or very close. you might a cpu that wake up when you do an import or dedupe or a mailing but otherwise it will be quiet.

FYI, I'm using lighttpd on debian or unbutu with fastcgi php, but I'd doubt it will make any difference to have apache.
