In this section, we provide a quick reference on supported size and scale information and recommended hardware information. Basically, it depends on the scale of CM, make sure your planning hierarchy and hardware is good enough for CM requirements.
You can verify the maximum supported size and scale information from the following tables:
Table 1. Sites
|
Site Type |
Maximum Scale and Size |
|
CAS |

Table 2. Site Roles
