Proposed hardware
For the Central Processing System (CPS) a fast system has been installed at the customers premises, in order to maintain more than 1 month of fine grain data.
For the probes cheap and small systems were installed.
1. The CPS
For the CPS the following system was used: DELL PowerEdge R630 64GB RAM, 4 x 1000GB SSD
| 64 GB RAM | Kingston – DDR4 – 16 GB – DIMM 288-pin – 2133 MHz / PC4-17000 – CL15 – 1.2 V – registered – ECC; Latency: C L 1 5; Module configuration: 2048 x 72 |
| 4 x 1000 GB SSD | Samsung 850 EVO MZ-75E1T0 – solid state drive – 1 TB – SATA 6Gb/s; Speed: 600 MBps; Buffer size: 1 GB; Internal speed: 540 MBps (read) / 520 MBps (write); 4KB random read: 98000 IOPS, 4KB random write: 90000 IOPS |
| Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 v3 product family | The Intel Xeon processor E-2600 v3 product family has embedded PCIe lanes for improved I/O performance. See the Processor section for details. |
| Intel C610 series chipset | The R630 server uses the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip. |
2. Probe systems
