When compiling and designing user documentation SEP AG uses great diligence and attempts to deliver accurate and correct information. However, SEP AG cannot issue a guarantee for the contents of this manual.

Welcome to the latest SEP sesam documentation version 4.4.3/4.4.3 Tigon. For previous documentation version(s), check documentation archive.

Additional resources

Check supported configurations and versions and Java compatibility matrix.

The following minimum hardware requirements apply for SEP sesam Si3 deduplication server. Keep in mind that the following requirements represent the demand for deduplication only. In addition to these requirements, the amount of memory for the operating system and other services should be taken into account.

Productive environments

16 GB RAM
4 CPU cores for one Si3 data store
1 TB free hard disk space

Test environments only

minimum 8 GB RAM
2 CPU cores
1 TB free hard disk space

For details on the required Java version, see Java Compatibility Matrix. Si3 is not mandatory, therefore there is no dependency rule in the RPM/DEB packages for it.

The following tables show the required additional amount of RAM and CPU cores for one Si3 data store. The TB value is the capacity of the Si3 data store.

Amount	RAM
10 TB	2.5 GiB
20 TB	4.8 GiB
30 TB	7.1 GiB
40 TB	9.4 GiB
50 TB	11.7 GiB
60 TB	14 GiB

Example: RAM required for Si3 data store with 50 TB capacity is 16 GiB RAM for productive environment + 12 GiB RAM for 50 TB Si3 = ~ 32 GiB RAM.

The folowing table shows the amount of CPU cores required for one Si3 data store. The TB value is the amount of backed up data (before deduplication)!

Backed up data	CPU cores
10 TB	4
20 TB	4
40 TB	8
80 TB	16
160 TB	32 or 64

	Note
	Keep in mind that the stated requirements represent the demand for deduplication only. In addition to these requirements, the amount of memory for the operating system and other services should be taken into account.
