Guidance on number of Cores for ArcGIS DataStore server

JonSwoveland

Hey all, the hardware requirements for ArcGIS DataStore don't mention anything about number of cpu cores to allocate to the DataStore host server.  This will be for a dedicated  DataStore service, hosting a relational datastore. Estimating a max of 50 concurrent users, although many services will be backed by Enterprise Geodatabases.

Thanks!

Jon, The number of cores required is generally determined by some sort of capacity analysis based on the type of workflows you are performing. The minimum would be 2 cores and you may have to go to 4 cores if the workflows were heavier with 50 users (e.g., Insights usage). But, with 50 users performing general hosted feature service queries with a reasonable "think time" between requests (e.g., 6 seconds average), then 2 cores would likely be adequate.
