Reference Guidelines	CPU (cores)	Memory (GB)	NIC Minimum	IO Minimums			Inbound bandwidth
				SSD Requirement	IOPS BW	IO spindles	Ingest Rate Max @ 90% deduplication rate
Extreme	32-64	128+	4 x 10GbE	Required	IOPs = 100K+ BW = 700MiB/Sec	RAID6 48+	30+ TB/HR
Enterprise	32-64	64-128	2x 10GbE	Optional	IOPs = 20K+ BW = 300MiB/Sec	RAID6 24-48	20 TB/HR

Cloud deployment reference configurations

Reference Architectures > Cloud deployment reference configurations

The tables below describe reference configurations for deployments to Microsoft Azure. These configurations are based on QoreStor images available in the Azure Marketplace. Configurations are described for three installation modes, as described below:

Tier 1 - Cloud Optimized
Tier 2 - Standard
Tier 3 - Large

QoreStor Tier 1 configurations

The following are the recommended VM instances validated for Tier 1 configurations. These configurations have an expected performance rate between 1.5 TiB/Hr and 2.5 TiB/Hr (measured for a 90 % dedupe ingest data).

Table 25: Tier 1 configurations
Series	Size	vCPU	Memory:GiB	Temp Storage (SSD) GiB	Max data disks	Max uncached disk throughput: IOPS / MBps	Max NICs / Expected network bandwidth (Mbps)
DSv2 - 11-15	Standard_DS12_v2 3	4	28	56	16	12,800 / 192	4 / 3000

The Pre-configured image is Standard_D12s_v2. This will create one Premium SSD of 1024 GB for Metadata and 5 Standard SSDs or Standard HDD of 5 TiB. Storage can be later expanded to 10 TiB, 20 TiB, or 40 TiB

5 TiB
10 TiB
20 TiB
40 TiB

Additional VM size tested and validated for Tier 1:

Series	Size	vCPU	Memory:GiB	Temp Storage (SSD) GiB	Max data disks	Max uncached disk throughput: IOPS / MBps	Max NICs / Expected network bandwidth (Mbps)
Esv3	Standard_E4s_v3	4	32	64	8	6400 / 96	2 / 2000

QoreStor Tier 2 configurations

The following are the recommended VM instances validated for Tier 2 configurations. These configurations have an expected performance rate between 2 TiB/Hr and 3.5 TiB/Hr (measured for a 90 % dedupe ingest data with RDA/RapidNFS).

Table 27: Tier 2 configurations
Series	Size	vCPU	Memory:GiB	Temp Storage (SSD) GiB	Max data disks	Max uncached disk throughput: IOPS / MBps	Max NICs / Expected network bandwidth (Mbps)
DSv3	Standard_D8s_v3	8	32	64	16	12,800 / 192	4 / 4000

The Pre-configured Image is Standard_D8s_v3. This will create two Premium SSD of 1TiB for Metadata and 10 Standard SSDs or Standard HDD of 512 GB. Storage can be later expanded to 10 TiB, 20 TiB, 40 TiB , 80 TiB, or 160 TiB.

5 TiB
10 TiB
20 TiB
40 TiB
80 TiB
160 TiB

DSv2	Standard_DS4_v2	8	28	56	32	25,000 / 384	8 / 6000

QoreStor Tier 3 configurations

The following are the recommended VM instances validated for Tier 3 configurations. These configurations have an expected performance rate between 3 TiB/Hr and 5 TiB/Hr (measured for a 90 % dedupe ingest data with RDA/RapidNFS).

Table 29: Tier 3 configuration
Series	Size	vCPU	Memory:GiB	Temp Storage (SSD) GiB	Max data disks	Max uncached disk throughput: IOPS / MBps	Max NICs / Expected network bandwidth (Mbps)
DSv3	Standard_D16s_v3	16	64	128	32	25,600 / 384	8 / 8000

The Pre-configured Image is Standard_D16s_v3. This will create 3 Premium SSD of 1TiB for Metadata and 20 Standard SSDs of 1024 GB. Storage can be later expanded to 40 TiB, 80 TiB, 160 TiB, or 320 TiB.

20 TiB
40 TiB
80 TiB
160 TiB
320 TiB

Additional VMs sizes that can be used for Tier 3:
