When planning a QlikView deployment for either the first time or an expansion to an existing deployment, a key question always arises: what machines do I buy and when? The answer to this question can be very simple or quite complex depending on a range of considerations, chief among them are: • The size and nature of source data. • The number of concurrent users. • The way that data and applications are organized in a QlikView deployment. • GUI design and overall application design. These 4 general areas – • Size of Data • Number of Users • Number of Applications • Application Design are the driving dimensions through which we will discuss QlikView’s ability to scale.
