Sizing Hardware for Appian

Appian's hardware sizing process provides a general estimate of the hardware needed to run your Appian solution.

This estimate is based on several high-level business parameters and is typically used prior to the start of a project. The sizing can be repeated if parameters change significantly due to new business requirements.

The sizing recommendations apply to Production environments only. For non-prod environments we recommend following System Requirements for your Appian version.

 

NOTE: Hardware sizing is not a replacement for proper performance and load testing.
