These system specifications are recommendations for your DCO system configuration in general. The performance and operation of the system depends largely on the nature of the configuration, such as:
- Number and population of racks
- Number and nature of integrations to external systems
- Number of devices and number of data points stored on these
- Power path configuration (one big, several small, across rooms, etc.)
- Concurrent and total users of the system and nature of their work cycle
- Cluster configuration (recommended to run on hardware, not virtual setup for better ready time)
If StruxureWare Data Center Operation is running on lower specification servers than recommended, users may experience long response times or timeout issues. In addition, the server may not be able to process scheduled jobs in a timely manner. This can lead to an infinite job queue, where the amount of queued work on the StruxureWare Data Center Operation server is ever increasing to the point where one or more StruxureWare Data Center Operation cluster servers are no longer responsive.
