Minimum hardware requirements

Based on number of files

Tier CPU RAM*
< 100,000 files single core, ARM, x86 or higher 512 MB
< 1,000,000 files 2 core, ARM, x86 or higher 2 GB
> 1,000,000 files 4 core, ARM, x86 or higher 4 GB minimum. 2 KB per file with an option to limit memory usage by time window based file monitor

 

Based on expected speed of transfer
For expected speed of 5Gbps, this is recommended hardware:

CPU Xeon E5 2600 v4 series or i7-7000 series, with 4 cores or more. Minimal frequency 2GHz. 
Memory 16GB or more (adds to files' based requirements above) Minimal memory bandwidth throughput of 10GBps is required.
NIC For extension cards, extension slot must support full 4 lines for PCIe 2.0.
Link aggregation shall be avoided.
For NUMA machines with some CPU slots empty, network card PCIe slot should connect to occupied CPU slot.
OS For Windows OS, only Windows Server can provide such expected speed, Windows server 2019.
Other platforms shall meet hardware requirements above. 

 

Based on expected speed of cloud storage

EC2 agent, <1 Gbit t3.xlarge instance and below
EC2 agent, >1 Gbit m5d.12xlarge instance and greater
Azure agent, <1 Gbit D4s v3 instance and below
Azure agent, >1 Gbit D14 v2 instance and greater
Google cloud, >2 Gbit n1- standard-64 and greater

*Agent memory consumption

Connect Agents consume approximately 2 KB of RAM per file (example: for 4.5 Million files Connect can consume up to 9 GB of RAM). Using time window based file monitor, you can limit memory usage.

Memory consumption

Memory consumption may double when syncing either NTFS or Posix permissions depending on the number ACLs applied per file.

OS

  • Windows 10 or later (64-bit);
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 or later;
  • Linux x64 (glibc 2.17 and newer)

> 1,000,000 files 4 core, ARM, x86 or higher 4 GB minimum. 2 KB per file with an option to limit memory usage by time window based file monitor

 

Based on expected speed of transfer

Note: with indirect connection through a proxy speed deterioration of up to 10%  may be observed compared to direct tunnel between Agents.
For expected speed of 5Gbps, this is recommended hardware:

CPU Xeon E5 2600 v4 series or i7-7000 series, with 4 cores or more. Minimal frequency 2GHz. 
Memory 16GB or more (adds to files' based requirements above). Minimal memory bandwidth throughput of 10GBps is required.

Other platforms shall meet hardware requirements above. 

 

*Proxy memory consumption

Resilio Proxy consumes around 2 KB of RAM per file (for example: for 4 million files Proxy can consume up to 8 GB of RAM). 

Memory consumption

Memory consumption may double when syncing either NTFS or Posix permissions depending on the number ACLs applied per file.
