Analyzer is a web application that runs on top of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) so any hardware that is capable running IIS websites should be able to run Analyzer without any problem. Please see this link for performance recommendation.
Below are some general guidelines on various Analyzer deployment configurations.
For small/medium operations, this is the typical setup:
- A web server hosting Analyzer and Analyzer Export Service (AES)
- A database server hosting SQL and SSAS
For large scale operation:
- A web server hosting Analyzer
- Additional web servers hosting Load Balance (LB) Analyzer
- A database server hosting SQL and SSAS
- Additional SSAS servers
- AES on dedicated server(s) if user does lots of export.
Please keep in mind that you can add additional LB Analyzer at any time.
Please keep in mind that you can add or move AES at any time.
A real-world example from one of our large operation customer, they have
- 16,000 users
- 5 Analyzer severs (1 main + 4 LB) running on server that has 256GB RAM and 8 cores
- 2 AES servers with 16 threads each running on server that has 32 GB RAM and 8 cores
- 50 SSAS servers, total of 6000 cubes.
