Sizing and scalability considerations
To plan your BMC Digital Workplace deployment, use the recommendations in this topic.
BMC Digital Workplace server cluster
To calculate the size of the environment required for BMC Digital Workplace, BMC uses the following factors:
- Total number of users
- Estimated concurrent connections (usually 10% of the total users)
BMC recommends that you have one BMC Digital Workplace server (with 4 GB and 2 CPUs) for 15,000 registered users, which includes an estimated 1,500 concurrent users. For each environment, consider one extra BMC Digital Workplace server to allow for rolling maintenance and handling of peak loads for events (such as a system outage).
To determine sizing for your environment, use the following formula:
(Total users X 10% / 1500) + 1 = Number of BMC Digital Workplace servers
For example, for 75,000 users, the formula would look like this:
(75000 users X 10% / 1500) + 1 = 5 + 1 = 6 BMC Digital Workplace servers
For the 18.08 release, the above formula applies up to total of 90000 users.
Sizing recommendations
BMC recommends that you use one of the following deployment options for BMC Digital Workplace.
| Environment | Number of BMC Digital Workplace concurrent users | Number of managed devices | BMC Digital Workplace server requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proof of concept (POC) | 100 | 1,000 or fewer | 1 server for BMC Digital Workplace:*
|
| Small | 1500 | 15,000 or fewer | 2-node BMC Digital Workplace cluster:
|
| Medium | 4500 | 45,000 or fewer | 4-node BMC Digital Workplace cluster:
|
| Large | 7500 | 75,000 or fewer | 6-node BMC Digital Workplace cluster:
