Ok from what I have learned sofar from my own test environment. (Keep in mind I am having a test setup for only a year). The s3 rgw is not so much requiring high latency, so you should be able to do fine with hdd only cluster. I guess my setup should be sufficient for what you need to have, test it and then just multiply it for your 1PB 3 nodes: supermicro CSE-826A-R1200LPB supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ 2x lsi logic sas 9207-8i 2x xeon > 2.2GHz. (12 cores at least) 1x 10GB pcie 20GB+ internal memory nx WD RED (pro) 4TB/6TB -----Original Message----- From: Unni Sathyarajan [mailto:unnisathya88@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: vrijdag 31 augustus 2018 14:08 To: ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Ceph Object Gateway Server - Hardware Recommendations Hi ceph users, I am setting up a cluster of S3 - like storage, to decide on the server specifications from where can I find the minimum and production ready hardware recommendations? The following URL does not mention it : http://docs.ceph.com/docs/hammer/start/hardware-recommendations/#minimum-hardware-recommendations It has hardware recommendations for 1. Ceph Object Storage Daemon Server 2. Ceph Mon 3. Ceph Metadata server Can you anyone please recommend the hardware specification I should look in a ceph storage cluster of 1 PB storage. Thanks in advance. Unni _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
