Specifications for the ABBYY bench tests - ABBYY Documentation

Test environment

The FlexiCapture servers and the Database Server were installed on virtual machines. All ABBYY FlexiCapture servers are installed on the same computer, which is connected to:

The Database Server via a network interface with a bandwidth of 1 Gb/s
FileStorage via SAS3 interface
The external LAN via a network interface with a bandwidth of 1 Gb/s

All workload generators, Processing Stations, and the backend system are in the LAN.

Diagram of the ABBYY bench test environment, where the combined Application, Processing, and Licensing Servers connect to File Storage over SAS3 and to the Database, and reach Load Generators, the Backend System, and ABBYY FlexiCapture Processing Stations through 1 Gb/s network switches.
