Before moving forward with the deployment of the supported architectures, verify you have the appropriate hardware. Please make sure you have the servers and switches required to set the architectures up.

Hardware Specifications

Minimum and Recommended configurations specs:

  • Minimum: Basic proof of concept system. The system has all the features of a complete system, but resources are very limited and performance can be poor. A Virtualized environment can be enough to deploy this configuration.
  • Recommended: Recommended configuration for a minimum deployment of a production system. You have to assume this configuration as the baseline for the final system. We strongly recommend to contact us for a full featured deployment.

Advanced Multinode

Please Contact us if you want to contract support for an Advanced Stackops deployment.

* 2GB of RAM only allows 1 m1.small instance or 3 m1.tiny without memory swapping. Only for testing purposes.

** 32GB of RAM needs 2 Quad-core CPU with Hyperthreading: 16 instances of type m1.small per server. A possible rule can be 2 x m1.small instance per Core and 4GB of RAM per Core.

*** As a rule of thumb, 2TB of storage in Volume Node reserved per Compute Node added
