 Deployment approach
 Stand Alone Architecture
3DS.COM/DELMIA © Dassault Systèmes | Confidential Information | 10/12/2020 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

 All APRISO tiers are deployed on single server:

 Recommended for Quality and Development
 Possible choice for low size production environment without high availability requirements

 Distributed Architecture – Multiple servers

 APRISO tiers are deployed on separated servers :
 Multiple deployment scenarios are available
 Each of APRISO tiers can be separated from the others

 Multi-plant centralized architecture
Pros & cons on HW/SW
3DS.COM/DELMIA © Dassault Systèmes | Confidential Information | 10/12/2020 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

 Less servers to install, administrate  More resources CPU cores, memory

 Reduce upgrade operations  Single point of failure
 Higher RDBMS license costs
 Less RDBMS licenses
 RDBMS size increasing faster
 Requires to setup archiving at an early
project stage
 Less scalability possibilities in case of
resources bottleneck (I/O disk)
 Limited timeslots for maintenance

Pros & cons on Administration

 Single product version  Doesn’t allow to customize product

 Single configuration

 Global and common product settings  Can’t perform wave upgrades

 ID’s of Organizational data must be

 One validation
unique
 Enforce the core model concept
 Role based access to Maintenance
 Single Master Data reference

configured to segregate access at

 Latency
< 30ms : perfect
 30 - 50ms : correct
 50ms : not suitable
 These thresholds are not absolute and should be considered more as generic

 Scalability approach in Apriso
Capacity planning goes 1st.
3DS.COM/DELMIA © Dassault Systèmes | Confidential Information | 10/12/2020 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

Apriso capacity planning phase (infrastructure sizing) is a must for most of the implementations to provide
estimations of minimal hardware requirements for production systems.
“Scale UP” capable tiers and HW resources
• Database tier: CPU, RAM, IO
• Application tier: CPU
• Web tier: CPU, RAM
“Scale OUT” capable tiers
• Database tier: Vertical data distribution (operational data store with reporting data store),
• Always-On Readable Replica on MS SQL
• RAC with LB on Oracle RDBMS
• Application tier: Multiplication and physical distribution of mission critical Apriso services (e.g. load split of with
multiple Job executors and Machine integrators)
• Web tier: Multiplication of WEB servers with Load Balancing - WEB Farm (Load Balancing). ASP State data
storage distribution (e.g. ASP State Database)

 Virtualization
Dassault Systemes makes extensive use of VMware and MS Hyper-V during the development process of
3DS.COM/DELMIA © Dassault Systèmes | Confidential Information | 10/12/2020 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

DELMIA Apriso updates, as well as within internal IT and support organizations to create and test various
Windows environments for compatibility and other purposes. Dassault Systemes is not aware of any specific
issues with DELMIA Apriso Software Products and VMware or MS Hyper-V

Product Running on
FlexNet 9.4.2 VMware ESX 3.0
FlexNet 9.5/MPI 2.1 VMware ESX 4.0
VMware ESXi 5.1+
FlexNet 9.6/MPI 2.1 or 3.0
MS Hyper-V version that comes with the supported Windows Server version
VMware ESXi 5.1+
Apriso 9.7/MPI 4.0
MS Hyper-V version that comes with the supported Windows Server version
VMware ESXi 5.1+
DELMIA Apriso 2016
MS Hyper-V version that comes with the supported Windows Server version
Dassault Systemes offers Performance Tuning services to help with this analysis, and highly recommends the implementation of these services
prior to undertaking any potential VMware or MS Hyper-V virtualization deployment

All versions and configurations of applications and operating systems running under VMware or MS Hyper-V must comply with the versions
specified by DELMIA Apriso support.

 Cloud
IaaS is supported
3DS.COM/DELMIA © Dassault Systèmes | Confidential Information | 10/12/2020 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

DELMIA Apriso 2016 supports the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model. The IaaS infrastructure can be
provided by any 3rd party vendor that supports VMWare or Hyper-V virtualization

23
 Cloud
In the example the Application Server,
3DS.COM/DELMIA © Dassault Systèmes | Confidential Information | 10/12/2020 | ref.: 3DS_Document_2015

Web Server, and Database Server are

located in a private cloud. Additionally,
the entire communication is performed
over a secured channel.

Depending on network capabilities,

additional solutions, such as Desktop
Virtualization and Network
Optimization, can be used in order to
improve service efficiency and user
experience.

It is possible to use one DELMIA Apriso Cloud instance for multiple plants, usually one DELMIA Apriso instance is used for one plant.
