Trados GroupShare system requirements

We generally recommend that SQL Server is on a separate and dedicated server from the Application server to ensure optimum performance.

We recommend a recent mid-range server with a multi-core Intel Xeon CPU and at least 16GB of RAM for the application server and 32GB on the SQL Server.

Trados GroupShare features three capabilities that have a particular impact on hardware requirements:

• Online Editor - for Online Editor, please calculate 100MB per file and per user. Therefore, for 10 concurrent Online Editor sessions, at least 1GB additional RAM is recommended.
• upLIFT - fragment Alignment (or FGA) is a very CPU-intensive task which only runs from 23:00 to 6:00, by default. For setups with large translation memories (TMs), or a large additions to TMs on a daily basis, it is recommended to have a fast multi-core CPU. For very large setups, contact our Technical teams to explore the option of delegating FGA services to a dedicated machine.
  
• Reporting – for the reporting module please add a further 8GB additional system memory.

Large installations vary depending on their type and their dependencies.

The following large installations can occur:

• A large Trados GroupShare installation is one that has more than 50 concurrent users on a regular basis.
• A large TM Server installation is one that has more than 10 million translation units in all and one or more translation memories with more than one million translation units.
• A large MultiTerm installation is one that has more than one million entries in all and one or more termbases with more than 250 000 entries.
