Five load configuration architecture setups that exist for the Standard Edition are available in:
- Appliance Mode (ISO file) - DPOD_CentOS_<version>.iso - can be downloaded from PPA. For example: DPOD_CentOS_1.0.11.0.iso
Non-Appliance Mode (Compressed Executable file) - DPOD_RedHat_<version>.cef - can be downloaded from PPA. For example: DPOD_RedHat_1.0.11.0.cef
Customers who expect to handle a load of over 200 TPS are required to complete a sizing process by opening a support ticket to IBM Support - L2.
The following table lists the typical usage characteristics for each setup edition, and the physical or virtual resources it requires.
Available in Edition | Load Configuration Architecture | Goal | TPS Limit | Supports Virtual Environment | Cores | RAM | Storage | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Developer | Development | Developers only. In rare cases can be used for functional POCs. | 2-3 TPS | Can be virtual (7) | 2 cores (1) | 4 GB (3) | Single disk: 25GB | |||||||||
Standard | Minimal | POCs and Evaluationevaluation. | 5 TPS | Can be virtual (7) | 4 cores (1) | 18 GB (3) | OS: 40 GB | |||||||||
| Standard | Low | Environment with low load levels | 40 TPS | Can be virtual (7) | 6 cores (1) | 32 GB (3) | OS: 40 GB | |||||||||

(5) To cater for 1500 TPS, customers are required to have 256GB memory, 24 Physical cores (each is Hyper-Threaded thus equivalent to a total of 48), Local storage with RAID0 across 4-8 SSD Disks (SAS 6GBs) - each supporting at least 80K Random Write IOPS 4KiB and write avg latency of less than 35 uSec. Two controllers will be required to be attached to each CPU. Please keep the ratio between RAM and Data storage size to be 1GB RAM: 16GB Data Disk (recommended) and no more than 1 GB RAM:32GB Disk (minimal).
(6) To cater to 2750 TPS or more, customers Customers will be provided with specifications after a sizing process with L3.
