Comments
The 8.1. documention contains a chapter on sizing considerations see
https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/itsm81/Sizing+and+deployment+considerations
I'm searching for the very same for 9.0 release but cannot find it.
In my understanding the deployment documentation should also contain a similar chapter. Please can you advise me on where to find this information?
Hi Andreas,
You find this information here:

https://docs.bmc.com/docs/display/public/ars9000/BMC+Remedy+ITSM+Suite+9.0+Solution+Performance+Benchmarks
Also, you are right, we are in process of including this information in the Deployment Space.
Thanks for your recommendation.
