Planning and Client Infrastructure Assessment

Before proceeding with the Nectari installation, the Nectari specialist needs to plan according to the customer’s infrastructure and data volume characteristics. Parameters to consider for installation planning include, but are not limited to:

  • The servers available disk space
  • The servers CPU
  • The servers memory (RAM) setup
  • The servers disk speed
  • The network speed
  • The data source system (ERP/CRM) setup and current data
  • The database volume
  • The database index setup
  • The database engine configuration (cache memory, mirror, and so forth)

These parameters can make the installation easy or very complex.

Important

It is recommended to have a planning and infrastructure assessment discussion with a Nectari specialist in case of a complex installation, and to ensure proper performance after Nectari is installed.

In preparation for this assessment, we also recommend you familiarize yourself with the different SQL Server editions available to you.

There are 5 different SQL Server editions:

  1. Enterprise

  2. Standard

  3. Web

  4. Express with Advanced Services

  5. Express

Each edition has advantages, limitations and costs that can cater to your specific needs.

For a full list of features for each edition, see the Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Scale Limits page.
