What is likely to make the final determination is what the goal for this test server is. If you're trying to give your developers a sandbox for making new workflows and forms processes, then you can scale down on the machine specs and put SQL, Laserfiche, Forms and Workflow on the same machine.

If the goal is to double-check that your production environment will be able to sustain the load of new processes before you deploy them, then your test environment should mirror your Production environment as much as possible both in terms of machine specs and server setup.

As Travis says above, being as close to production as possible is the best way, but if cost is an issue, then consider whether performance testing is an immediate need.

If possible, my recommendation would be to at least split SQL off onto a separate server even if you combine everything else.

SQL is a "goldfish" as far as RAM is concerned, meaning it will consume everything it is allowed to consume.

You can cap it, but that still puts a "hold" on server resources and we've had a better experience just keeping the databases separate.

My philosophy when it comes to test environments is to mirror as closely as possible the production environments. This lets me build and test and get performance information that in theory is directly relate-able to production.

If you are just looking for minimum specifications for Laserfiche, here is a good place to start:

In addition, in the installers of each product there is the readme.html file, where the minimum and recommended requirements are mentioned.

Thanks for your reply, i'll ask the question differently

I'm looking for the specifications of the server which we're gonna Buy, for exemple : a server with quad-core and 16 GB RAM where we can use LF Server, SQL Server, Forms and workflow in ones.

What are the minimum specifications to run all these modules in one server ?
