Are sites different virtual hosts in tableau tomcat server?

iwona.wiktorowska.0 Jul 22, 2016 1:32 AM

Is creating new site in tableau server creating a new virtual host instance in tableau internal tomcat server? If so, at what point this becomes unnegligible? I would assume it would increase memory consumption at some point if the traffic is big enough, can someone confirm.

it's an interesting question. I don't think the virtue of defining a site takes up memory, rather rendering dashboards takes up memory. I heard of a deployment the other day that has more than 100 sites which seems to be an issue from an overall management perspective, but not memory.

How many sites do you have? Can you share a bit more info about your deployment?

Let's say I have 100 sites with 50-100 users each.

have you considered using projects and assigning permissions at the project level instead of individual sites? It may be better in the long run in terms of overall unification of your company.

Due to complex security model it is not possible to use projects.
