Production Environment Configurations

This section provides hardware specifications for different target volume levels. All systems are rated for use with CPU utilization at 50% in order to accommodate traffic spikes. All volumes are specified with the assumption of an average message size of 100 kB.

The Enterprise Basic Configuration consists of three nodes running all roles with the resources specified below. The system supports the following performance ratings.

| Node Capacity |

Cluster Capacity

(2 Nodes Operational)

|

Peak Cluster Capacity

(3 Nodes Operational)

| | --- | --- | --- | | 500,000 Msg/hr | 1 M Msg/hr | 1.5 M Msg/hr |

/var/spool/ecelerity

Note: This array should be dedicated to the spools.

| | OS, App Binaries, Logs, Platform DB, Analytics DB | 2 x 300 GB in RAID1 |

• OS - / (root)

• Logs - /var/log/ecelerity

• App Binaries - /opt./msys

• Platform DB - /var/db/cassandra

• Analytics DB - /var/db/vertica

Note: This array should be dedicated to the spools.

| | OS, App Binaries, Logs, Platform DB | 2 x 600 GB in RAID1 |

• OS - / (root)

• Logs - /var/log/ecelerity

• App Binaries - /opt./msys

• Platform DB - /var/db/cassandra

| | Analytics DB | 2 x 600 GB in RAID1 |

Analytics DB - /var/db/vertica

Note: This array should be dedicated to the Analytics DB.

The Enterprise Scaling Configuration consists of both an Analytics Cluster and a Platform Cluster. Because large volume deployments require more resources for sending than for analytics, Message Systems recommends separating the Platform and Analytics roles to separate clusters. This configuration allows you to scale the Platform cluster independent of the analytics cluster. The baseline configuration consists of a three-node Analytics Cluster and a three-node Platform Cluster. You may scale sending capacity by incrementally adding Platform nodes to the cluster as needed.

The baseline system supports the following performance ratings.
