Federation Services performance is based on a number of factors:
- Number of CPUs and speed
- Network bandwidth and latency
- RAM assigned to the operating system and Federation Services (Tomcat) itself
- Hard drive disk speeds and latency
Federation Services uses a database for configuration, job state, and auditing data. Auditing data can also be configured to go to a log file.
Finally, Federation Services will be integrating 2 or more products. Performance will be determined by the above factors, but also by the performance of each system being integrated.
Note: Federation Services is an I/O intensive application and
therefore should be provisioned accordingly. Recommend SSD or NVMe based back end
storage with enough capacity to index the entire contents of the source data.
