Reference Architectures

The information in the sections below is intended to help you properly size your QoreStor server.

Reference guidelines

The specifications detailed in Hardware references were constructed with the performance guidelines listed below in mind. Please review the performance guidelines below and select an option suitable for your environment. Use that same reference in the Hardware references section to identify the representative reference architecture.
