DPOD offers 6 basic load configuration setups deployment profiles:
One load configuration architecture for A development deployment profile (exists only in the Developer Edition ISO file).
The Developer Edition ISO file name is DPOD-Developer-CentOS-<version>.iso, and can be downloaded from Fix Central.Five load configuration architectures for the Standard EditionFive Standard Edition deployment profiles, available as:
Appliance Mode (ISO file) - DPOD_CentOS_<version>.iso - can be downloaded from PPA.
Non-Appliance Mode (Compressed Executable file) - DPOD_RedHat_<version>.cef - can be downloaded from PPA.
It is not possible to change the load configuration architecture deployment profile after DPOD is installed. In order to change from one architecture deployment profile to another, a new installation of DPOD is required, discarding the old data collected so far.

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.
