Memory is so inexpensive, there is no consideration to resources when it comes to purchasing memory.

When we acquire hardware, we acquire the very best because we feel our users only deserve the very best. We always try to do the very best we can.

We use Intel SSD drives. For actual backend servers we use Dell servers with Xeon processors. These are incredibly fast machines. For the amount of memory, we usually equip a system with 16 GB. Although that is not meant for Sierra Chart use. For development, we need the memory for compilation, which can use a lot of memory for parallel compilation. For data servers the memory is used to memory cache historical data.

For the average Sierra Chart user, 8 GB is plenty on a system. Sierra Chart is only going to access about 3 to 4 GB maximum. So for Sierra Chart needs, 8 GB is more than enough.
