This section provides information about the hardware recommended for a MidoNet deployment.
Table 1.1. Recommended Deployment Hardware
| Hardware | Requirements |
|---|---|
Network State Database, API, and Agent Nodes | CPU: 64-bit x86, quad core or above Memory: ≥ 32GB RAM HDD: ≥ 30GB (available free disk space) NIC: 2 x ≥ 1Gbit |
2 x GW Nodes | CPU: 64-bit x86, quad core or above Memory: ≥ 32GB RAM HDD: ≥ 30GB Network: 3 x ≥ 1Gbit |
NIC Cards | For a high-performance data network: use NICs that support multiple queues and MSI-X |
Top of Rack Switch | Non-blocking multilayer switch (L2/L3) with jumbo frame support |
Hard Disks | Ideally, both the ZooKeeper transaction log and Cassandra data files need their own dedicated disks, with additional disks for other services on the host. However, for small POCs and small deployments, it is ok to share the Cassandra disk with other services and just leave the Zookeeper transaction log on its own. |
