I am new to the world of Adabas on Windows. I have my first database up on a Windows server and I would like to put 3 more databases on this server. Is there anything about running 4 lightly used (less than 20 million commands per week on all databases combined) Adabas on Windows that should concern me? The server has a single instance of Adabas Version 6.5.0.2 running on a Windows Server 2012 R2. The CPU is a 6 core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2640 with 8GB of RAM.

No, nothing to be concerned of at all 😉

Depending on what else will be running on that server 8GB sounds fine and you’ll be able to define reasonable large bufferpools etc.

Good to hear. I was just looking for a little reassurance with what we are doing.
