This test study was conducted in January 2023 and evaluates the Reference Architecture for a Network Information Management System with:
The system presented in this test study was designed at a physical level, and incorporates several design choices that are described in detail. The system is designed to support an organization with 15 ArcGIS Pro editors and 200 ArcGIS web users performing a set of typical network information management workflows. The system was deployed and tested for both performance and end-user experience. The load is determined in multiples of operations per hour, or how many times each workflow is executed in an hour. You can read details about this approach in the workflow pacing section.

It is important that you become familiar with the reference architecture before the test study, as there is important information and resources that are not duplicated here.
A foundational Network Information Management System delivers the following capabilities as defined in the data editing and management system pattern:
The system capabilities are delivered through the following software with all available patches applied:
The design was deployed on virtual machines based on a Microsoft Windows operating system.
The software versions listed above were the latest available when this system test study was deployed and tested. Esri strongly recommends using the latest available software versions when possible.
This test study tested a 100 GB electric utility dataset with a geographic extent of roughly 275,000 square miles. It contained about twenty million features, 2,000 subnetworks, and 650,000 electric meters at customer locations.
