Urchin Q and A: Recommended Environment for Andvanced Setup

Question: What would be the ideal condition to run Urchin without low speed: some servers with Urchin and database in all of them; some servers with Urchin and one master database; 2 or 3 servers with Urchin and some databases configured as master and slave?

Answer: Reporting data is stored in proprietary databases. Reporting data can be configured to be stored on your NAS. The MySQL or PostgreSQL database may also reside on a separate box. You will need a license for each Urchin installation that is crunching logs. Start with the minimum system requirements to see how Urchin's log processing performs. With a baseline measurement, you'll be able to easily scale from there.

Server specifications and configuration are really dependent upon your unique situation. You must set up a test environment to see what kind of resources you are going to need.
