Design

  • A single Neptune DXP - Open Edition installation is called an "Environment" and is provisioned with a database.

  • All resources (database, environments, …​) are hosted on Microsoft Azure.

  • An Managed Environment is deployed to a single region.

  • An Managed Environment is made out of replicas. By default, there is 1 replica.

  • The Compute SKU defines the compute characteristics of a replica (Memory and CPU).

  • The Database SKU defines the database characteristics.

  • An Managed Environment can be accessed by its default domain.

  • Additionally, an Managed Environment can be accessed by a custom domain(s).

Compute

The CPU and memory resources required to run a replica of an Managed Environment are generally referred to as "Compute."

  • The Compute SKU defines the compute characteristics of a replica (Memory and CPU).

  • Each replica, in an Managed Environment, has a specific Compute SKU.

  • All replicas in a given Managed Environment must have the same Compute SKU.

Supported Compute SKUs

  • 1 vCPU with 4 GB of memory

  • 2 vCPU with 8 GB of memory

  • 3 vCPU with 12 GB of memory

Database

Neptune DXP - Open Edition requires an underlying database to function. All Managed Environments are equiped with an Azure SQL database, which is Azure’s Database-as-a-Service version of MS SQL. The Database SKU defines the reserved throughput characteristics for a given database. The throughput is expressed in DTUs. See Azure’s DTU Pricing Model for a detailed description.

Supported Database SKUs

  • S1 (20 DTU)

  • S2 (50 DTU)

  • S3 (100 DTU)

  • S4 (200 DTU)

  • S6 (400 DTU)

  • S7 (800 DTU)

  • S9 (1600 DTU)

  • S12 (3000 DTU)

All databases are provisioned with 250GB data storage capacity.

When creating often mobile clients in the cockpit of your Neptune DXP - Open Edition or use the App Editor, we advise to at least opt for S2 or higher.
