Table of contents Hardware for Small Aternity Deployment (up to 30,000 devices) Use this deployment for small production environments of Aternity to support up to 30,000 monitored devices or virtual desktops, where up to 27,000 of them are physical devices and 3,000 are virtual application sessions. It assumes 10 Aternity logged in users updating dashboards and performing in total up to 10 clicks per minute. Small Aternity deployment Important Synchronize all Aternity components to have the same date, time AND time zone. Aternity requires one Aggregation Server per 40,000 monitored devices and one Vertica Database Server node per 25,000 monitored devices. So, calculate the number of servers you need following the amount of monitored devices in your organization. Hardware Specifications for Small Deployment The small deployment requires the following hardware specifications: Component Minimum Memory (RAM) Minimum CPU Minimum free disk space Additional configuration Aternity Management Server (which includes the Data Warehouse Server) At least 14GB Xeon E5 family 4 cores2.4 GHz 130GB JVM heap size: (learn more)-Xmx10240m-XX:MaxNewSize=4096mActiveMQ JVM Heap Size: 1G Aternity Aggregation Server 12GB Xeon E3 family, 2 cores at 2.4 GHz 30GB JVM heap size: (learn more) -Xmx8192m -XX:MaxNewSize=4096m Aternity Dashboard Server 32GB (you can ignore the RAM size warning during setup) Add 16GB RAM for each additional 10 logged users. Xeon E5 family16 Cores2.4-3.6 GHz15MB CPU cache Add 8 cores for each additional 10 logged users. 50GB (SSD)Or I/O per sec (IOPS): 900 For less standard hardware configurations, see the setup instructions and hardware best practices from Tableau. To deploy on a virtual machine, you must guarantee the CPU and memory requirements. Aternity Oracle Database Server 12GB Xeon E3 Family4 Cores2.4 GHz 250GBI/O per sec (IOPS): at least 800 Oracle's System Global Area (SGA): 8GBProgram Global Area (PGA): 2GB Aternity Vertica Database Server 32GB Add 16-32 GB RAM for each additional 10 logged users. Xeon E5 family8 Cores2.4-3.6 GHz15MB CPU cache 200GB (SSD) for each node If you deploy on virtual machines, you MUST define all resources as dedicated or reserved (Resource Allocation > Reservation). In addition, you can use a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) in Aternity 11 on any hard drive with no restrictions. See Vertica limitations for LVM. Verify that the disk partition dedicated to the Vertica data folder (see Target directory below) uses the EXT4 file system. Enter df -Th to verify.

In any case, we provide the detailed calculation: If you do not deploy Aternity Data Source for Portal, you can reduce the amount of memory by 1GB and CPU cores by 0.2. If you do not deploy Aternity REST API Server, you can reduce the amount of memory by 1GB and CPU cores by 0.2. If you do not deploy SDA Server (Service Desk Alerts), you can reduce the amount of memory by 2GB and CPU cores by 1. You must also install each server with the required operating system and other software. For details, see the system and software requirements for each server.
