NAV 2016 Environment Setup for Live, Test & Development

dstockill

Hi All
We have installed all 3 environments (Live, Test and Development) onto our servers and are now looking to see if we have done it in the best possible way to have all 3 environments running together, currently we have 2 servers Serv1 has the NAV server with all 3 NAV Server Instances setup and also the Development environment and Development SQL. Serv2 has the Live and Test SQL databases on the same SQL Instance.
What I would like to know is it worth the one machine for Development including the NAV Server Instance for Development then moving the Nav Server Instance for Live and Test to the Serv2 which has the SQL on, or is it okay to have all 3 NAV Server instances managed from the same machine?
Thanks
David

I always prefer to have separate environment for Live.
you can decide DEV and Test to be in separate environments or in same.

If Test does not impact performance too much, then it makes sense to have it on the same machine as Live (i.e. Test and Live databases on the same machine, and Test and Live service tiers on the same machine), so that it will resemble Live as closely as possible.

Roughly how many concurrent users do you have on Live, Dev and Test?

What is the database size, and the number of transactions posted in an average day?

And what are the server specs?
