that great news, are you having any one site app servers? i have no come across any deployment guides yet.
Nah–it’s all set up to be in the cloud now.
We’re going to maintain our on-prem server as our new sandbox server for upgrade testing, though.

Probably a safe bet, they’re pushing an upgrade when you may not really need one. Sure, the system specs may not be up to Epicor’s hardware spec but it’s not that far behind. As others have said, if you’re running well on 10.0 then 10.2 should perform as well and at least worth a shot before sinking money into new hardware.

Ok, would Epicor not work with SQL Azure, i guess it wont.
What is the memory and cpu size you are running on for SQL & app server? just interested to know

our production server for Epicor is in Azure… has been for a couple years now. Works ok for the most part, I’ve had on prem servers that perform better, and ISP LOS can be a killer depending on your service area. We have an AZURE DC and syncs with an on prem DC and that works well.

We are still implementing on 10.1.600…We do have a one issue with our PDT results at the moment, with regards to the SQL query test. where the time is 4850ms when then pass value is 3500 I recall. I believe part of the reason is our SQL box is on a separate subnet. Still trying to get that worked out.
With 15 concurrent users I would have thought you could get away with SQL and App on the same box. Of course review the hardware sizing guide. and as @askulte mentioned the PDT is your friend, at least to ensure that your machine is configured correctly and you can baseline. The Tuning guide and Sizing guide are a pretty good places to start when you are looking at these things.

Is that like 5gE 
I have no idea; I’m not much of a network guy.
I just parrot the things told to me. LOL

Switching to Epicor’s SaaS hosting has alot of downsides so be careful. There are many critical settings, access to functions etc, that they lock you out of that forces you exclusively into their ecosystem of supported products.
For example, just found out the new REST Odata drivers are incompatible with many applications, including Excel, unless you turn off the new requirement to use an API-Key. Except that when epicor hosts your system, they will not allow you to change any configuration file settings which is the only way to disable the api-key requirement…

Heads up, you can build a hell of a server with the same warranty as a new one from someplace like serverMonkey. The only thing you have to really get an extra grasp on is things like Cals. Essentially every computer accessing the server will require a cal. Every manufacture offers a 50 device cal pack you can get.
