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:
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).
| 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
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 |
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).
| 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.
Additional VMs sizes that can be used for Tier2
| 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_E8s_v3 2 | 8 | 64 | 128 | 16 | 12,800 / 192 | 4 / 4000 |
| DSv2 | Standard_DS4_v2 | 8 | 28 | 56 | 32 | 25,000 / 384 | 8 / 6000 |
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).
| 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.
Additional VMs sizes that can be used for Tier 3:
| 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 | Standard_DS5_v2 | 16 | 56 | 112 | 64 | 51,200 / 768 | 8 / 12000 |
| DSv2- 11-15 | Standard_DS13_v2 3 | 8 | 56 | 112 | 32 | 25,600 / 384 | 8 / 6000 |
