[OFBiz] Users - Ofbiz hardware requirements
Locked
 
|
Hello,
I`m looking forward to switch to Ofbiz for my
entire business. Before I do that I would like to know what are the minimum
requirements for server hardware ? I`m asking this because I don't know if I
should take dedicated server for it or shared server with good hosting company
will be ok. I would like to get some suggestions on that please and maybe some
hosting recommendations ?
Thanks
Mike

Mike,
Glad to hear you like OFBiz :-) I think this is really a dedicated server job, I've never tried using shared hosting, but the chances are you'll run into a load of problems with permissions etc... Also, be warned that OFBiz is a very large system to migrate to in one step, make sure you really understand how everything will be affected before you move mission critical process onto the OFBiz framework. Good luck with it all. -- Andrew Sykes <[hidden email]> Sykes Development Ltd _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ofbiz.org/mailman/listinfo/users |

Thanks for the reply. I think I will go with dedicated server. I am new to
Ofbiz acctualy heard of it last week for the first time. I don't know if you heard about Compiere open source project but thats the one I was going to implement before I found Ofbiz. When you were saying migration did you mean data migration or migration in general(learning how to use it etc.)? What I am thinking is getting dedicated server now with Ofbiz and while I am still in the other system I would let people use Ofbiz so that we can learn more about it. Finally, in Dec/Jan switch to Ofbiz after we close this year.

Hi
I found that although it is possible to use virtual machine hosting with OFBiz, it really isn't optimal, or particularly more cost effective than a dedicated server. I would estimate that you'll need at least 500 MB of HD and 256 to 512 MB minimum of Ram (with the ability to balloon higher) in a shared system. I spent more than a week trying to track down a bug in a virtual machine hosting system, Sphera, and had sub optimal performance and more problems even when I did get it working, whereas a dedicated server has been very affordable, and far more reliable. There are many purveyors of dedicated hosting, and I have a couple of machines free at a great price as well.

I'll second the thought that shared hosting can be a real pain with OFBiz. The main exception to that is a hosting company that is experienced with OFBiz or similar applications in a shared environment. We actually do offer (through Contegix, Matthew Porter's company) fully managed hosting of OFBiz on both shared and dedicated servers (there are price lists and details on our web site). These are meant to be full service things where you don't ever have to touch the box, we do all of the setup and maintenance for you. They are high quality and fast servers, and we monitor and review performance to make sure they stay that way. They also feature data protection with redundant disks and regular backups. So, is it possible to run multiple OFBiz instances on a single box to share it? Yes, and it works quite well if your hosting company knows what they are doing. If not it can be a REAL pain. -David On Oct 17, 2005, at 10:10 AM, Daniel Kunkel wrote: > Hi > > I found that although it is possible to use virtual machine hosting > with > OFBiz, it really isn't optimal, or particularly more cost effective > than > a dedicated server. > > I would estimate that you'll need at least 500 MB of HD and 256 to 512 > MB minimum of Ram (with the ability to balloon higher) in a shared > system. > > I spent more than a week trying to track down a bug in a virtual > machine > hosting system, Sphera, and had sub optimal performance and more > problems even when I did get it working, whereas a dedicated server > has > been very affordable, and far more reliable. > > There are many purveyors of dedicated hosting, and I have a couple of > machines free at a great price as well. > > Daniel > > > On Mon, 2005-10-17 at 09:18 -0400, michal wrote: > >> Hello, >> I`m looking forward to switch to Ofbiz for my entire business.

Daniel, David
In your vocabulary, does "Virtual Private Servers" count as "shared hosting"/"virtual machine hosting"? Is there anything similar to Contegix in the EU?

Not that I am aware of, but David is the better person to ask.
