The number and configuration of the computers that you employ for your Converged Application Server system depend on the scale and the deployment type you plan. Work with your performance team to determine your sizing requirements.
Converged Application Server has similar requirements to Oracle WebLogic Server. The following items are required in addition to the basic WebLogic Server requirements:
Gigabit Ethernet connections are required between engine servers for most production deployments.
Dual network interface cards (NICs) are required to provide failover capabilities in a production environment.
Extra RAM is required to support the throughput requirements of most production installations.
A load balancer is required for production installations.
Table 3-5 shows the information you provide during the Converged Application Server installation.
