Hardware Sizing

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

Pre-registration

7200 pre-regs/hour*

4 VCPU**, 16 GB RAM

Registration Processor

200,000 registrations per day

Resident Services

7200 resident services/hour*

4 VCPU, 16 GB RAM

* 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. Virus scan

    4. Load balancers

    5. External IAM

    6. Disaster recovery

Storage

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.
