Info
- A thin client allows the organization to centralize the AE Client deployment to one or more servers, reducing the client desktop complexities associated with software deployment.
- A thin deployment allows use of the system from other devices from multiple regions and locations.
Warning
- The memory footprint and CPU intensity of the ARGUS Enterprise Client on a thin deployment can cause resource bottlenecks if the server resources are not high enough to cover the increased demand.

Tip
If expecting moderate or heavier loads, then consider going to the Detailed section for SQL Server. Implementing some of the presizing can help set your enviroment up for success.
SSRS Specs#
When installing in a shared environment with SQL Server, consider reducing the RAM on SQL Server to 80% instead of 90% of the machine ram. This allows less contention between OS and SQL Server, while also ensuring some additional resources for SSRS.
If installing in a dedicated environment, the apply the standard SQL Server specs, and adjust as your load and environment requires.
