Microsoft Dynamics NAV On-Premises Infrastructure
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Infrastrcture Sizing Guidelines for On-Premises Single Tenant Deployments
The sizing and performance recommendations are very specific to the scenarios performed. Many factors influence sizing recommendations and application performance:- Usage patterns such as the mixture of transactional and consulting scenarios.
- The number of users who carry out the same tasks at the same time, which results in locking delays.
- How the solution is customized from the standard Microsoft Dynamics NAV solution provided by Microsoft.
- The amount of data in the Microsoft SQL Server database.
- How optimized the underlying database is for the transactional and consulting scenarios.
- The underlying software, hardware and network infrastructure.
- Other applications running in the same environment.
Sizing Recommendations Summary
This recommendation is possible to run 500 concurrent users, each executing up to 90 transactions per hour on a single Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance with 16 GB of RAM and a Quad Core Processor at 2.45 GHz. To determine the resource requirements we compared four Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server configurations with the same workload.Configuration | CPU (2.45 GHz) | RAM |
---|---|---|
1 | 4 Cores | 16 GB |
2 | 4 Cores | 6 GB |
3 | 2 Cores | 6 GB |
4 (2 NAV Server) | 2 Cores | 2 X 6 GB |
Our recommendations for sizing Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server for single tenant on-premises usage are:
- Up to 150 users per CPU core on each Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance
- Minimum 5 MB memory per active user on each Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server instance
Memory Requirements
At the peak load of 500 concurrent users the memory consumed by the Dynamics NAV Server process might be around 4 GB. Each user session that connects to a Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server has calculated to need approximately 5 MB of RAM per user, this takes into account the operating system and initial server memory requirements.
Windows Server 2012 R2 Initial Memory | 1.5 GB |
Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server Initial Memory | 0.5 GB |
Estimated Peak Memory Use for 500 User Sessions | 2.5 GB |
Total Memory used at 500 User Session | 4.5 GB |
