Frequently asked questions

Where do the tiers come from?

The tiers come from WisePC's workload model: for each service, the minimum that works, the recommended sweet spot, the comfortable headroom and a derived Overkill tier (comfortable × 1.6 compute, × 2 storage).

Can I run several services on one machine?

Yes — most services share resources. Use the planner and select several services; the engine sums and overlaps the requirements instead of stacking them.

What if I already have hardware?

Register it in My hardware and the analysis shows exactly which services your current system can comfortably run — including an honest “do nothing”.
