ArcGIS Server Capacity Planning

SaurabhUpadhyaya — Fri, 21 Feb 2025 04:21:33 GMT

I am currently working on the technical architecture for an on-premise ArcGIS Server deployment that needs to support multiple teams and a large number of users. To ensure optimal capacity planning and resource allocation, I am looking for the latest version of the Esri Capacity Planning Tool (CPT) in Excel format.

Could you please share the most recent version of the tool or guide me on how to access it? I am particularly interested in using the tool to estimate the required ArcGIS Server licenses, hardware specifications, and network capacity based on our expected load, which includes:

Multiple map services, feature services, and geoprocessing services
High volume of point features (approx. 2000 points per request)
Concurrent users across 20 teams, with up to 1000 users per team

If there are any newer guidelines or resources for capacity planning beyond the CPT, I would appreciate it if you could share those as well.

The CPT has not been updated in a very long time and is no longer maintained (to my knowledge).

There now is the Architecture Center, where you can find reference systems: About test studies | ArcGIS Architecture Center
You can use the Architecture Center as a general reference. Then set up a test system and do Performance Engineering: Load Testing ArcGIS Enter... - Esri Community to adjust your infrastructure to the expected load. -> Design an effective test strategy | ArcGIS Architecture Center

You might have some luck too with the System Designer Lite tool too. Check the help for the first tutorial on quick capacity planning.
