Hardware Sizing

The hardware compute and storage requirements for MOSIP core platform are estimated as below.

Production

Compute

Compute hardware estimates for a production deployment:

* Average throughput

** VCPU: Virtual CPU

We estimate 30% (approx) additional compute capacitiy for administration, monitoring and maintenance. This may be optimized by the System Integrator.

Notes

1. High availability is taken into consideration with assumed replication factor of 2 per service pod/docker

2. The above estimates do not include compute servers needed for

   1. Database

   2. HDFS/CEPH

   3. Bio SDK

   4. HSM

   5. ABIS

   6. Virus scan

   7. Load balancers

   8. External IAM

   9. Disaster recovery

Storage

Storage estimates for production deployment:

Appication and system logs

• Application logs

The above estimates are approximate, and may inflate if, for example, there are too many exception traces.

The logs may be compressed and archived after a week or so. The compression ratio achieved with tar+gz utility is 15-20.

• System logs

To be estimated by System Integrator according to the deployment

Dev, QA, Staging, Preprod

Additional compute and storage is needed for the following setups.

* To be decided by the country/System Integrator.
