|
t |
CPU Core 8 per node (for 3 nodes cluster) |

RAM 24GB per node (for 3 nodes cluster) |
|
t |
Disk space – 500GB per node |
Recommendation - Working with external storage
We recommended working with an external NFS (Network File System) for handling larger volumes or to enhance performance (e.g., to achieve a high sanitization rate). External storage can provide greater flexibility and can accommodate larger file sizes beyond the temporary internal storage limit, ensuring that your operations continue smoothly without interruption. Working with internal storage can cause system errors if temporary internal storage exceeds the maximum. In that case, the system will return an error and sanitization will be enabled only after the temporary storage returns to normal operation.
