Test environment

ABBYY FlexiCapture and the Database Server are deployed on a Huawei FusionCube 6000 server with two 10 Gb/s network cards and four XH628 v3 nodes.
In its top configuration, each node has:
  • 2 × Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors, 18 cores (36 threads) each
  • 256 GB DDR4 RAM
  • Hard drive arrays: an 800 GB PCIe SSD card cache, 2 × 600 GB SAS, and 10 × 4 TB SATA disks

​
Virtual machines

The nodes host virtual machines for the FlexiCapture components and the other roles needed for testing:
  • 1 virtual machine for the Application Server
  • 1 virtual machine for the Database Server
  • 1 virtual machine for the Processing and Licensing Servers
  • 10 virtual machines for Processing Stations
  • 8 virtual machines for load generators that emulate user input
  • 1 virtual machine for the backend system, where all processing results are exported
The two network cards serve different purposes:
  • One creates a VLAN for communication between all virtual machines inside FusionCube.
  • The other connects each virtual machine to FusionStorage.
FusionStorage combines all the hard drive arrays into two separate stores:
  • One is dedicated to the FlexiCapture FileStorage (500/600 MB/s read/write).
  • The other hosts the hard drives of all virtual machines (900/700 MB/s read/write).
So each virtual machine has two 2 Gb/s NICs: one for the VLAN and one for the FileStorage system. Its virtual CPU cores are, in fact, threads on the Intel Xeon E5-2699 v3 processors.
The following table lists the specifications for each role.
