Approximately 25 MB for the agent software (varies by platform)
The amount of memory actually used by the POA depends on the number of active users, as illustrated by the table below:
Table 8-1 Memory Usage Examples
|
Concurrent Users |
Actual Memory Usage at Peak Time |
|---|---|
|
100 active users (100-250 users in post office) |
80 MB |
|
250 active users (250-500 users in post office) |
160 MB |
|
500 active users (500-1000 users in post office) |
250 MB |
|
1000 active users (1000-2500 users in post office) |
500 MB |
The POA typically performs best with abundant cache memory available. On the server where it runs, at least 2 GB of memory is recommended.
