MS Dynamics AX 2012 R2 hardware sizing


If you are looking for Information here the following hints might be of interest:

We have the following Benchmark report available. That was performed based on MS Dynamic 2012 R1 but in terms of the sizing results things remained the same so it is still valid.
Important note: The tests in the Benchmark Report were performed on “standard” solution without any branch or ISV solutions or other customizations which can have a big impact on performance!
