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 |

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. |
