[tahoe-dev] RAM and CPU requirements for a tahoe storage server

[zooko]

Folks:

I just had reason to look at the stats from allmydata.com's farm of  
tahoe servers.  I didn't do a comprehensive survey -- I just glanced  
at the historical stats for a couple of boxes which are currently in  
heavy use.

The approximate rule of thumb is that 200 MB of RAM and 1/8th of a  
Xeon or Opteron seems to be plenty for a single Tahoe storage server  
node serving about 1 TB of storage.

Obviously this might change with different workload.

Does anyone else have similar data points to share?

Regards,

Zooko
