Hello all,
I am quite new to Qlik Sense. I would like some advise regarding the way I should setup a Multi-Node environment.
Here is what we have:
- 4 VMs with Windows Server 2012. All VMs have 2 CPU cores, 2.2GHz
- VM1 has 8 GB of RAM
- VM 2, 3 & 4 have 16 GB of RAM
I have installed Qlik Sense 3.2.2 Shared Persistence on the 4 machines as follows:
- VM1 is the Central Node + Scheduler (reload)
- VM2 is Proxy only
- VM 3 & VM 4 are Engines + Scheduler (reload)
- Entry point is VM2, which load balances on VM3 & VM4
- The Scheduler service runs on VM1, VM3 & VM4
We are expecting a couple of hundreds of users to access the application. Probably less.
I would like to hear your opinion on the following:
- The architecture overall (scheduler, proxy, etc)
- Hardware
- is 8 GB of memory too less for the Central Node? Especially that it's used as reload as well. Should I request an upgrade to 16 GB just like the other nodes?
- is 2 CPU cores too less? How CPU intensive is Qlik Sense? Is it the same case for all 4 servers?
Looking forward to reading your opinion!
Kind regards,
Mihai
