Table of contents Hardware of Aternity Trial POC Deployment (up to 1000 devices) The trial POC demo deployment of Aternity on-premise is the smallest configuration which supports up to 1000 monitored devices or virtual desktops, where up to 900 of them are physical devices and 100 are virtual application sessions. It assumes 10 Aternity logged in users updating dashboards and performing in total up to 10 clicks per minute. Trial POC deployment for Aternity on-premise The Management Server's computer can house ALL the following: Oracle Database Server, Data Warehouse Server, and Aggregation Server, all on the same computer. The standalone computers are Dashboard Server, Docker Components server, and one for the Vertica Database Server. Important Synchronize all Aternity components to have the same date, time AND time zone. You can also set up a trial deployment using VMWare virtual machines, by downloading and deploying the three OVA image files. In this case, the Aternity Docker Components Server hosts the Aternity Vertica Database Server. Set up trial POC for Aternity on-premise with OVA image files Learn more about an OVA trial deployment. Hardware Specifications for a Trial or POC Deployment The trial deployment requires the following hardware specifications: Component Minimum Memory (RAM) Minimum CPU Free disk space Additional configuration Aternity Management Server (and with Oracle Database Server, Aggregation Server, Data Warehouse Server) 12GB Xeon E5 family 4 cores 2.4 GHz 180GB JVM heap size: (learn more) -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxNewSize=2048m ActiveMQ JVM Heap Size: 1G Oracle's System Global Area (SGA): 4GB Program Global Area (PGA): 2GB Aternity Dashboard Server 16GB (you can ignore the RAM size warning during setup) Add 16GB RAM for each additional 10 logged users. Xeon E5 family 8 Cores 2.4-3.6 GHz 15MB 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 Vertica Database Server In the trial deployment, the Aternity Docker Components Server hosts the Aternity Vertica Database Server. See below for spec. 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. Aternity Docker Components Server 24GB Xeon E5 family 8 Cores 2.4-3.6 GHz 80GB must be free after installing all software.40GB out of 80GB should be allocated to Aternity Vertica Database Server partition.<sda>: at least 1GB<cassandra> at least 5GB<kafka> at least 5GB 2.5GB of memory and 0.8 of CPU cores, which is negligible in this deployment size. 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 500MB and CPU cores by 0.2. If you do not deploy Aternity REST API Server, you can reduce the amount of memory by 500MB and CPU cores by 0.1. If you do not deploy SDA Server (Service Desk Alerts), you can reduce the amount of memory by 1.5GB and CPU cores by 0.5. Important 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.
