3 Slide 3 How to Measure? Users? vs. Locations? vs. Data? vs. Processes? vs.

4 Slide 4 User Count Total number of users 50 or 50,000+? Number of concurrent users 10 or 10,000+? User types # People that need to submit data? # People that need to view/access data? # People that need to participate in processes?

5 Location Count Physical location count 1 or 100+? Network infrastructure Bandwidth Latency Encryption requirements Supplier and/or customer access Suppliers? How many? 10 or 10,000+? Customers? How many? 5 or 50,000+? All of these options are possible with Aras and the right configuration Copyright 2012 Aras. All Rights Reserved. Slide 5

6 Slide 6 Amount of Data Number of vaulted files 10k or 1M+? File size Megabytes or Terabytes or even Petabytes? Database Bills of Material Process Plans Change & Configuration Management Compliance Data CAD Integrations

7 Slide 7 Process Complexity Process complexity is not a function of user count Big companies can have simple processes Small companies can have complex processes PLM Scope BOMs, Document Management and Engineering Change Outsourced Manufacturing & Quality Assurance Program Project Management Systems Engineering Formulas & Recipes Regulatory compliance

8 Slide 8 Deployment Options Single server for everything Aras U s e r C o u n t ERP CRM

9 Slide 9 Deployment Options Distributed/replicated vaults geographically close to users U s e r C o u n t ERP CRM

10 Slide 10 Deployment Options Load balanced application servers U s e r C o u n t ERP CRM

11 Slide 11 Deployment Options Hosted environment through firewalls with encryption U s e r C o u n t ERP CRM

12 Slide 12 Deployment Options Private cloud with shared/replicated database U s e r C o u n t ERP CRM

14 Slide 14 Scaling Down Laptop for evaluation, demo, development, etc. Single small server for a workgroup

15 Slide 15 Scaling Up A single server configuration will work from dozens of users to hundreds of users

16 Slide 16 Multiple Server Configurations Move the vault service to multiple different servers Other services, like file conversion, can easily be moved to other servers Vault replication Good for many distributed sites

17 Vault Replication Automatic replication of files across many vault servers Shared Vaults Distributed Vaults Replicated Vaults On Demand or Scheduled replication Vary rules by vault, file type, group, etc. Copyright 2012 Aras. All Rights Reserved. Slide 17

18 Slide 18 Separate Database Server Run the database on it s own server(s) Bandwidth between application and database server(s) is critical

19 Slide 19 Multiple Application Servers Multiple application servers can connect to the same database and vaults Segregate users by location or another factor Load balance using underlying IT infrastructure

20 Slide 20 Achieving the Right Size Make sure you factor in the number of users and locations, amount of data and process complexity Scaling down is simple just install on a single server Many options for scaling up & out, including splitting servers, replication, load balancing, etc. Infinite scalability can be achieved using cloud technologies such as Aras Spectrum on Azure
