Archive Manager hardware recommendations

This following section shows the estimated hardware recommendations for Archive Manager Services server and SQL database server. This are minimum recommendations and are subject to change based upon your messaging environment. For operating systems and other software requirements, see System requirements.

•
Memory*: The total amount of required operating memory may be lower during initial archiving. As more data is archived and indexed, the memory footprint will increase.
•
AM Database Data**: Database read/write speeds are key to Archive Manager performance. The faster the data can be read from the database, the faster a request is returned to the user.

Services server

•
CPU (Total Cores)*: The total amount of required CPU cores increases as the number of active threads increases. The store management service will export a single mailbox in a single thread. More active threads allow a faster ingestion rate. Full Text Index also has the ability to run multiple processing threads. The administrator needs to find the appropriate balance.
•
Memory**: The total amount of required operating memory may be lower during initial archiving. As more data is archived and indexed, the memory footprint will increase.
•
Index Disk(s)***: The performance of the index disk will greatly impact the general performance of the product. For best results, use dedicated attached storage. New indexing technology allows the ability to span the index across multiple disk for both performance and fault tolerance.
•
Attachment Disk****: The performance of the attachment disk has less impact on the general performance of the product, but for the fastest retrievals, a faster disk is recommended.
* 
NOTE: When running the 64-bit Archive Manager Full Text Search Service, a minimum of 8 GB RAM is recommended. The total amount of memory recommended can be calculated by determining the disk space used by the indexes (messages + attachments) in GB, dividing that number by 100, and adding it to the 8 GB RAM minimum. For example, if the total space used for your indexes is 400 GB, then you should have (8 + 400/100) or 12 GB of RAM installed on your Archive Manager system.
