Server configuration ArcGIS Enterprise

Question

Hi,

We want to purchase two ArcGIS Enterprise licences for my company, one for production and one for testing. But I still have a question on the server configuration, that is the best for my use case:

- I am mostly publishing 3D SLPK scences with a Script. The SLPKs are published overnight via my script. There's only one data producer. As for data access, it's difficult to estimate, but it's very unlikely that more than 10 users will be accessing the system simultaneously. Additionally, 2D geodatasets will be displayed on the platform, and possibly LIDAR data (this still needs to be confirmed).

The server configuration that we are planing is the following:

Production Server:

* ArcGIS Server: 4 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, 50 GB available disk space. (Is 32 GB sufficient, or would it be better to go directly with 64 GB?)
* ArcGIS Portal: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM (could we reduce this to 2 vCPU? How much disk space is required?), and is it possible to install ArcGIS Monitor on this machine as well?
* Data Store: 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, with disk space to be determined based on our data.

Test Server:

* 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM

Does someone has experience with publishing SLPK's on ArcGIS Enterprise and knows if this configuration is good for my use case.

Best regards
Eric

No, we’re not planning to use Image Server at this stage.

are you picking up the ArcGIS Image Server Licenses too?

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your response. The .slpk data has a maximal size of 300MB, most of them are around 50MB big. The total size of them is around 5GB for the moment, but will increase during the next years. For the 2D data it is difficult to say because it is not clearly defined what we want to include, but the system rely mostly on 3D data, so the total size of the 2D data shouldn't be that big. Same for the LIDAR data, cause we are not sure if we want to include them, I would say that we don't include them in the planning of the configuration. But for information. The size of the mobile mapping data is approx. 6GB for 1km of railway tracks. For the moment we only have 5km mapped, but it's surely increasing during the next years. Same for the data captured with UAV's.

Best regards
Eric
