Perform Sizing

Consider two factors when sizing the product server:

  1. Number of business indicators configured
  2. Maximum number of concurrent users actively requesting data

The number of BIs you configure has a direct effect on the size and performance of the MySQL database and therefore on the CA Executive Insight server.

For more information, see the MySQL guide at http://dev.mysql.com/.
