Metus Image Matching Server
Metus Image matching server mainly requires RAMas the index information of the video is written on RAM
Each 1 hour of video takes approximately 1 MB RAM. Therefore, if you need to index 10.000 hrs of content, then server needs to have at least 10 GB RAM
| CPU | single or dual Xeon E5 2600, E56xx, 3rd or 4th gen i7 series | depends on image matching traffic |
| RAM | min. 16 GB | depends on size of the content to be indexed |
| HDD | 500 GB SAS or SSD | |
| OS | Win 2008 Server R2 64 | |
| server | It server such as DL360, DL360p, DL380 or similar | HP, Dell, Supermicro 1U, 3U servers are certified |
