(1) These could be cores on an 80% utilized ESXi

...

(5) To reach 1500 TPS customer requires to have 256GB memory + 20 Physical cores (each is HyperThreaded thus brings to total of 40) + Local storage with RAID0 + with 4-8 SSD Disks (SAS 6GBs) . 

IBM DataPower Operations Dashboard is also available to be installed as a custom distributed edition (not All-in-One) that allows installation on several servers located across separate geographical locations.

This normally requires creating a custom architecture based on a sizing process.each support at least 80K Random Write IOPS 4KiB and write avg latency of less than 35 uSec. 

  

Storage Recommendation

  • DPOD serves as a database and should therefore be configured to use very fast disks. Therefore, DPOD installation requires 3 DISKS  for OS , Install, 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 installation that can utilize HW RAID services we recommend the following:
  • RAID5 - 40GB - for OS disk
  • RAID5 - 40GB - for App disk
  • RAID0 - Depends on volume - for Data disk.
