Siebel Enterprise Server architecture is designed to scale across multiple application servers to meet
the needs of large, complex deployments. Siebel Global Services can provide further assistance in
capacity planning and sizing hardware platforms for Siebel Enterprise Server.
The number of servers and the CPU and memory resources required for operation of Siebel eBusiness
Applications increases with the number and types of users and Siebel modules deployed.
Up to 1 GB of disk space can be required on each application server for installation of Siebel
Enterprise Server software. In addition, servers operating Siebel Remote require 15 MB of usable
disk space for each mobile user. Oracle recommends using high-performance and high- availability
storage solutions as appropriate for use in Oracle deployments. This is especially important in high-
capacity deployments. Oracle recommends using high-performance SCSI disks or RAID arrays for all
Siebel Servers, file system servers, and database servers.
Hardware or software RAID 5 or comparable high-availability disk configurations are critical for
Siebel Remote Servers, Database Servers, and Siebel File System Servers. It is recommended that
other Siebel Application Servers, Siebel Web Servers and other Siebel Server components are
configured to use hardware or software RAID level 1 configurations.
High-availability solutions—such as clustering—are also recommended on critical components and
may be used in conjunction with RAID level 1 or 5 solutions as stated above. Clustering is critical for
high availability of the Gateway Server, remote servers and the Siebel Database Server. Clustering
is also recommended for any application server that is not load balanced.
Oracle customers are responsible for making sure that clustering is supported on each Siebel Server
component. Oracle customers are also responsible for making sure that Siebel Server hardware is
supported to operate with the Siebel-supported server operating systems and clustering solutions.
See Table 12 on page 29 for a list of supported server operating systems. See Table 16 on page 35 for
a list of supported Web servers.
