RECOMMENDED CONFIGURATIONS
General considerations
The RDBMS is to be considered external to the ARXivar infrastructure.

The choice of RDBMS location (SQL Server, Oracle or MySQL) is directly proportional to the
customer's needs and system availability.
When installing the RDBMS on one of the servers in the ARXivar system, take into account the increased
CPU and RAM requirements.

General considerations on plant design

In the case of a new ARXivar Next system with a document volume of more than 4 million
documents/year or on ARXivar Next systems migrating from ARXivar 5.x with an increase in
documentation of more than 70%, it is strongly recommended to involve Able Tech in the study of the
most suitable infrastructure to be adopted.
The same care should be taken when porting documents from third-party software (History Porting) when
they reach the size described above.

General disk occupancy considerations for the Repository on
FileSystem
In relation to the calculation of the physical occupation of each individual file (profile document or
profile attachment), we suggest running this simple formula adapting the number of files you plan to
manage in a year, the average weight of the files you usually manage (by convention we consider 150Kb)
and considering at least 3 years of archive maintenance:
• (([Tot N Doc] * [Average file weight in Kb]) * [N Years])
• On a case of 50,000 docs/year you will have:
o ((50.000 * 150Kb) * 3) = 22.500.000Kb  21,45Gb  22Gb (nearest)
Workflows and its active instances will also affect the occupation of disk space.
It is therefore advisable to consider the average number of instances that can be managed and to carry out
the same calculation considering the average weight of a workflow of approximately 60Kb.
• (([Tot N Instances] * [Average file weight in Kb]) * [N Years])
• On a case of 3,000 WorkFlow instances, you will have:
o ((3.000 * 150Kb) * 3) = 1.350.000Kb  1,28Gb  1,5Gb (nearest)
A disk space dedicated to the ARXivar Document Repository of at least 22Gb + 1.5Gb = 23.5Gb should
therefore be provided.
General considerations when using SQL Server Express and

Oracle XE
It is difficult to determine in advance whether these editions of the database software are sufficient to
support the needs of your ARXivar environment, given the limitations in terms of size and performance.
Therefore, if they are used, it is recommended that you plan to monitor the performance and size of the
database, so that you can intervene promptly if the need arises to upgrade to a higher edition.
Details for SQL Server Express: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/editions-and-

components-of-sql-server-version-15?view=sql-server-ver15#Cross-BoxScaleLimits
Details for Oracle XE: https://www.oracle.com/it/database/technologies/appdev/xe.html
General considerations regarding SQL Server licensing

For CORE licences, please consider carefully the characteristics of the Server.
Concerning CAL licences, Microsoft's licensing policies foresee the application of the logic called
"Multiplexing", which means that you must have 1 CAL licence for each real user (person) who actually
uses the software.
This is not a technical but a purely commercial issue with Microsoft.
