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 could 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.
