Resource Requirements for Deployments

This section provides the CPU, memory, and disk space requirements for the IoT FND application, database, and tunnel provisioning servers for each of the IoT FND deployment types.

Bare Metal Server Deployment Resource Requirements

The following table shows the CPU, memory (RAM), and disk space requirements for the IoT FND application server in a bare metal server deployment for:

Resource Requirements in a BM Deployment for Mesh Management

For improved device scalability and device performance, we recommend that you cluster application servers as follows:

  • For deployments with between 2,000 routers/2,000,000 endpoints and 6,000 routers/6,000,000 endpoints: Two application servers

  • For deployments with more than 6, 000 routers and 6,000,000 endpoints: Four application servers
