Suggested hardware configurations for different size environments

Generally you can install UC Analytics on a single computer. For some large installations, you might have a distributed installation on two or more computers. The following examples show the estimated requirements for a single server installation. The estimated requirements assume that you are collecting from all data sources, including Exchange public folders and Exchange IIS Logs (ActiveSync events and OWA logons).

 
* 
IMPORTANT: These estimates provided here are guidelines only. You might require more resources, depending on your environment and how you configure UC Analytics. Foremost, if you collect email message body, the required RAM and disk space will be greater than the estimates. If you configure many data sources, the required resources can increase.

For distributed installations, you can use the UC Analytics Deployment Sizing.xlsx spreadsheet to see different options that can meet your environment’s needs. The spreadsheet can be found under Documentation in the autorun.exe.

To obtain optimal performance for a production installation, it is recommended that you install UC Analytics on a physical machine.

Example: Small single server installation

This example shows the suggested hardware requirements for a smaller deployment with all the service roles installed on a single computer. The environment from which data is to be collected has the following characteristics:

•
# of AD users = 5000
•
# of Exchange mailboxes = 5000
•
# of Exchange public folders = 5000
•
# of Skype/Lync users = 5000
•
# of Cisco users = 5000
•
Retention period = 365 days

If you install the Storage Engine on a server with two disks, you should specify a directory on the non-operating system drive as the Storage Directory for the Storage Engine during installation.

Software prerequisites

This section lists the prerequisites for the individual UC Analytics components (services and service roles). If you want to install more than one component on a single server, you must ensure all the prerequisites for the components are met.

The server on which UC Analytics is installed must meet following minimum requirements:
