Hardware Sizing Recommendations

Table 1.2. Hardware sizing recommendations

If you want …	Recommended hardware sizing ...
50 MB/second sustained throughput and thousands of events per second	1 - 2 nodes 8 or more cores per node, although more is better 6 or more disks per node (solid state or spinning) 2 GB memory per node 1 GB bonded NICs
100 MB/second sustained throughput and tens of thousands of events per second	3 - 4 nodes 8 or more cores per node, although more is better 6 or more disks per node (solid state or spinning) 2 GB of memory per node 1GB bonded NICs
200 MB/second sustained throughput and hundreds of thousands of events per second	5 - 7 nodes 24 or more cores per node (effective CPUs) 12 or more disks per node (solid state or spinning) 4 GB of memory per node 10 GB bonded NICs
400 - 500 MB/second sustained throughput and hundreds of thousands of events per second	7 - 10 nodes 24 or more cores per node (effective CPUs) 12 or more disks per node (solid state or spinning) 6 GB of memory per node 10 GB bonded NICs
