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 4 installation modes, as described below:

Tier 0 - Community edition
Tier 1 - Cloud Optimized
Tier 2 - Standard
Tier 3 - Large

QoreStor Tier 0 configurations

The following VM Size Instance is then recommended and validated for Tier 0, with expected Performance rate between 1 TiB/Hr to 1.5 TiB/Hr.(measured for a 90% dedupe ingest data with RDA/RapidNFS).

Table 19: Tier 0 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_D4s_v3	4	16	32	8	6400 / 96	2 / 2000

This will add 6 Standard SSDs or Standard HDD as Data Repository, starting with 256 GB, can be later expanded up to 20 TiB.

1 TiB (1.5 TiB raw space) -- No License needed.
5 TiB (6 TiB raw space)
10 TiB (12 TiB raw space)
20 TiB (24 TiB raw space)

Additional VMs Size that are tested and validated for tier 0:
