Here are the requirements for a production system running Rhino.
Operating System
|
Check the Rhino Compatibility Guide to ensure you’ve got a supported OS. |
Rhino requires a process ulimit of at least 4096 processes to function reliably.
Hardware
The general hardware requirements below are for a Rhino production system, used for:
-
performance testing — to validate whether or not the combination of Rhino, resource adaptors and applications exceeds performance requirements
-
failure testing — to validate whether or not the combination of Rhino, resource adaptors and applications displays appropriate characteristics in failure conditions
-
and (ultimately) live deployment.

Sufficient disk IO performance must be available, depending on logging levels, load levels, and installed applications. In cloud deployments, Disk IO may be a concern. Care should be taken when choosing instance resources. |
Performance measures and targets vary, based on the application deployed.
