The sheet below will help calculate the amount of RAM and cores needed for the system to operate smoothly.
The linked Transaction Calculator will take your system statistics and tell you how what your size your system needs to be to work efficiently with Velocity, SQL and VWSC.
System Requirements
Before installing Velocity, make sure your server, workstation, and\or client computer meets the following requirements:
For Velocity Server:
x64 3.40 GHz CPU (or equivalent)
32GB RAM (64GB RAM recommended for large systems)
RAID 1 Configuration Recommended
1TB HDD (or equivalent)
