  • Customers that expect a load of up to 120 TPS (across all devices, including future growth) may choose one of the options from the table below.

  • Customers that expect a load of over 120 TPS (across all devices, including future growth) are required to complete a sizing process by opening a support ticket with IBM Support.

  • Currently a single installation of DPOD cell environment with 7 physical cell members can process up to ~20,000 TPS (assuming ~35 Syslog records per transaction on average). Customers with higher load than that may create several installations, each can handle up to ~20,000 TPS.
