Sizing Questionnaire
OneWorld
Introduction:
Thank you for allowing IBM the opportunity to provide you a sizing estimate for
OneWorld software from J.D. Edwards running on an IBM server platform. We
will be requesting the following information in order to arrive at a system
recommendation and architecture based on your requirements and business
environment.
This information will allow us to provide you with an estimation of the processor
class, memory, and disk space requirements.
The sizing process initiated by the completion of this Sizing and Planning
Questionnaire is called a pre-sales sizing estimate. A pre-sales sizing is based
on minimal input and is intended to be a very rough estimate of server resource
required to support a given OneWorld workload. The accuracy of the sizing
estimate is dependent upon many variables such as the accuracy of the
information provided by you, the customer, (we recognize that it may be difficult
to provide exact numbers on your environment) and the actual usage of the
system in a real-time environment. Sizing is an iterative process and the sizing
issue should be revisited a number of times during the implementation process.
Performance data gathered during the pilot phase of an implementation project
should be used to generate a much more accurate estimate of server
resources required for a given OneWorld workload.
In this pre-sales sizing estimate we will provide to you an estimate of disk
space required to support the OneWorld database for the number of users
defined in your workload estimate. This will be a very rough estimate as the
disk space required does not always correlate with the number of active users.
J.D. Edwards has a disk sizer tool that can be used to obtain a much more
accurate estimate of the disk space required.This more accurate estimate can
be obtained by contacting your J.D. Edwards marketing representative.
Currently we are able to provide pre-sales sizing estimates for two-tier
implementations of OneWorld only. In a two-tier implementation the server
functions as the central database server supporting client PCs running
OneWorld business logic. Certain customers may find it appropriate to explore
multitier implementations of OneWorld exploiting the flexibility of OneWorld’s
Configurable Network Computing (CNC) environment.
Currently sizing for multitier implementations is beyond the scope of this
document.
