Recommended Configuration

Infrastructure

• 19" rack
• UPS
• gigabit ethernet switch with jumbo frame support
• network cabling

The minimum recommended cluster is 5 nodes, but it is possible to build a 3 node cluster which can tolerate a failed node with no single point of failure by adding a second 2.5" journal / boot drive per node.

Node

• 1U short depth (10") rack mount
• dual ball bearing fans
• enterprise grade motherboard w/ ECC, IPMI, dual gigabit ethernet
• 4GB ram
• 2.5" CF adapter w/ industrial flash card
• 5.25" hard drive
