All in One Server (please see Typical Small System Design)
Enterprise Hardware Requirements (please see Enterprise System Design)
SQL Database Server
Database query traffic requires mostly RAM
| CPU | Xeon E5 2600, E56xx, 3rd or 4th gen i7 series | depends on number of total users |
| RAM | 16 GB for 1-10 users, 24 GB 10-15 users, 32 GB for +15 users | |
| HDD | 500 GB SAS or SSD in RAID1 for database disk | DB disk must be physically seperate from system disk |
| OS | Win 2008 Server R2 64 | |
| server | It server such as DL360, DL360p, DL380 or similar | HP servers, Supermicro 1U, 3U servers are certified |
Metus Archive Server
In an enterprise system, MAS will run Metus Archive module which is the backbone of the whole system
| CPU | single or dual Xeon E5 2600, E56xx, 3rd or 4th gen i7 series | depends on workflow |
| RAM | 8 GB | |
| 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 |
Metus Process Server
MPS is the transcoding engine within the system
| CPU | single or dual Xeon E5 2600, E56xx, 3rd or 4th gen i7 series | depends on transcoding and proxy workflow |
| GPU | Nvidia Geforce GTX 680 or GTX 690 | for GPU based multiple H.264 proxy creation |
| RAM | 8 GB | |
| HDD | 500 GB SAS or SSD | |
| OS | Win 2008 Server R2 64 | |
| server | It server such as DL360, DL360p, DL380 or similar | HP servers, Supermicro 1U, 3U servers are certified |
Metus Web Server
Web server mainly requires CPU to serve web clients
| CPU | single or dual Xeon E5 2600, E56xx, 3rd or 4th gen i7 series | depends on web user traffic |
| RAM | 8 GB | |
| 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 |
Metus Image Matching Server
Metus Image matching server mainly requires RAM as 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 |
Metus MAM Desktop Client
MAM client will be a regular workstation or user PC
| CPU | Quad, i5, i7 or Xeon | |
| RAM | 4-8 GB | |
| HDD | 500 GB SAS or SSD | |
| OS | Win7, Win8 | MacOS X 10.5 or later for Mac client |
