ArcGIS enterprise configuration in an intranet environment

SaraEL_MALKI

Hi guys,

I've been reading the documentation for hours and hours but it's getting me LOST,

I wanna know briefly what's the optimal configuration for an intranet environnement for arcGIS server and Portal?

we do have a windows server standard, arcGIS enterprise 10.5.1, Oracle enterprise database and a geodatabase.

some developers will use WAB Dev edition, edit and add content to the portal and server and others viewers of the Portal.

- for the SSL certificate, I will create a domain certificate, but what I didn't understand is will I need to buy a domain site and use it for this certificate or just create one by my own ?

- Will I need a multi-tiered deployment or all-in-one deployment ?

Hi Sara,

> what's the optimal configuration for an intranet environnement for arcGIS server and Portal?

There is no 'best fit solution' to answer this question. It will depend on how many end users you will have, how many services you will publish, the types of services, if you will enable the ability for end users to also be able to create new hosted services in Portal, your security model, etc.

At minimum, if you want to leverage the full capabilities of a Web GIS - then you should start with a base deployment,

If you end clients will only be from within your organization (intranet) then I think a domain certificate should be fine. As the client machines should have a domain certificate already installed. It is typically provided by your IT/systems group. If your end clients may be outside your network, then I recommend purchasing a CA certificate.

The link you referenced mainly applies to an ArcGIS Server site, and does not factor in Portal for ArcGIS. Again, please see my answer to your first question.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

thanks a lot for your answer and helpful links,

I have chosen to make it a all-in-one deployment, my machine has 10 GB RAM, and I read here

Plan a base deployment—Portal for ArcGIS (10.5.x) | ArcGIS Enterprise

that it needs a 16 GB RAM ? what can I do in this case ?

RandallWilliams

16 gb RAM is the minimum recommended memory for a performant Web GIS in a production environment. You can install the all-in-one deployment on an underpowered machine, but be aware that users will likely find the performance to be unacceptable - especially under any kind of load. In terms of machine upgrades, RAM and HDD space are relatively inexpensive. I'd add more RAM, or if this is a VM, request that the VM admin bump up your allocation.

thanks for your response,

but excuse me, what do you mean by a "production environnement" ?

I wanna all the computers connected to my Intranet to be able to connect to the Server/Portal and create Apps with Admin role and use the WAB Dev edition, I am afraid that you mean that ONLY the computer on which we installed these stuff, is the only one where we can do everything we want ?

- If I choose to do a multiple machine deployment, do I need to have two/many Servers in my organization and install on each server a different component ? or what exactly ? ( in case I can't afford the 16gb RAM)

excuse my basic questions,
