DPOD offers 6 basic load configuration setups.
...
Customers who need to handle more than 1500 TPS will be required to install sepereated multiple separated multiple nodes.
Customers who expect to handle load over 200 TPS will require to start a sizing process by open ticket to IBM Support - L2.

...
(5) To cater for 1500 TPS, customers are required to have 256GB memory, 24 Physical cores (each is HyperThreaded 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 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).

- DPOD serves as a database and should therefore be configured to use very fast disks. For this reason, DPOD installation requires 3 separate DISKS for OS , Installatio and Installation and Data.
- Usage of slow disks is not recommended and will impact the amount of time between creation of transaction logs and the availability of the data on DPOD's dashboards.
- For Physical hardware installations that can utilize HW RAID services the following setup is recommend:
- RAID5 - 40GB - for OS disk
- RAID5 - 40GB - for App disk
- RAID0 - Depends on volume - for Data disk.
- For each 1 TB of data 64 GB of RAM is recommended for responsive queries (dashboards and filters). Please keep 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).
