Hi guys, I hope you are doing well.

I need to do a virtual machines resource sizing for a Ignition control platform in Hyper-V. How can I do this sizing for the following servers?

- HMI and Data Server
- SQL Process and Report Server
- Batch Procedure Server
- Material Server
- Report Server

Where can I found this information?

Thanks.

Start with this topic and the official sizing guide linked within:

(But read the whole topic.)

Note that your list of server roles doesn't really match well with the servers you'd normally use to deploy Ignition. Consider going through the architecture options at the beginning of the Inductive University online training (free), and/or ask for help from IA's sales engineering team.
