titleDatabase Server

The following specifications are Orchard Software’s recommendation for optimal performance of the Orchard database server.

SpecificationMinimum Requirements
Operating System (OS)Current Server OS supported by Microsoft
Processor Core Allocation (CPU)

(4) 2.0+ GHz

  • Microsoft SQL must be licensed for all available CPU cores
Random Access Memory (RAM)64 GB statically allocated
Hard Drive

250 GB

  • Drive 1 – Operating System = 50 GB minimum
  • Drive 2 – Database Local Storage 200 GB
  • SSD, RAID 1+0, or a fiber connected SAN are recommended
  • Orchard Software recommends starting with a minimum of 200 GB for the database hard drive and monitor the growth of the system to determine if additional allocation is necessary.
  • It is required to have at least one backup file stored locally on the database server. All other backup files may be moved to another drive, storage solution, or off site.

Notes on Orchard Application Server Deployment

  • The Orchard application servers must maintain less than 1ms latency to the database server due to heavy transactional interactions.
  • In a virtual environment, the required memory must be 100% statically allocated or marked as reserved.
  • If automated faxing will be deployed, a physical server is required due to telephony requirements.
  • For any Orchard deployment, you must have a minimum of 4 application servers (5 if using automated faxing). Additional Orchard application servers may be deployed for the purposes of scalability to accommodate larger volume organizations. The following metrics should be used when determining how many application servers to deploy:
.Only necessary if utilizing automated faxing from Orchard Enterprise Lab
ServerQuantityPurpose
Web Resource Server1The Resource Web Server controls specific processes for the Orchard Enterprise application such as direct printing, remote access printing services (RAPS), HL7 hosts, email, inbox delivery, etc.
HL7 Application Server1Metric: 1 application server per 75 HL7 messages/minute.
User Access Application Server1Metric: 1 application server per 300 concurrent users.
Device/Instrument Interface Application Server1Metric: 1 application server per 75 device instrument result messages/minuteOptional Faxing Application Server1.
