Sizing and capacity planning
IBM Content Navigator on the application server will require a minimum of:
- Disk space: 2.5 GB
- JVM Memory: 1 GB
The amount of necessary CPU processing power, RAM, and disk space vary depending on your specific workload and your desired system capacity and performance. To build the best working system for your needs, build a test system and then move the system into production after you verify that it meets your needs.
