IQ Server Reference Architecture

Sonatype IQ Server is designed to handle varying volumes of application workloads. The stability and performance of your IQ Server installation depends upon:

  1. Deployment instance (type of AWS instance)

  2. Primary usage patterns (no. of scans per second)

  3. Scale of the deployment (application/user counts)

A general recommendation for IQ Server system requirements can be found here.

Based on the performance tests for varying amounts of operating workloads in real time environments, we have defined a set of hardware system recommendations, for different volumes and scale of the application workloads. These recommendations are designed to extract maximum ROI from your system resources that are provisioned for your IQ Server deployment.
