Fabric & TDM 7.xx Hardware Requirements for POC Installations

Introduction

This document provides information regarding hardware, software, and operating system requirements for Fabric and TDM proof-of-concept installations.

The installation is based on Docker containers.

Fabric Studio Windows Server

For Local Installation:

  • Windows Version -- Any one of the following: 10/11/2012/2016/2019 64bit Machine
  • 8 Cores/vCPUs.
  • 8GB RAM
  • 100GB Available Disk Space

For Cloud Installation:

  • AWS: EC2: a1.2xlarge, m5.xlarge
  • Azure VM: A8v2
  • GCP: e2-standard-4

Windows Ports

The following ports should be opened on the Windows server:

  • 3389 - Used for RDP

Windows Permissions

Local administrator privileges are needed for the Fabric Studio installation.

Minimum Software Requirements

POC Linux Execution Server Specifications

Install several containers on this server:

  • Fabric server
  • Cassandra
  • Kafka
  • And any other app container that will be needed

Minimum Hardware Configuration for Each Linux Server

Use the latest RedHat/CentOS Operating System, with latest Docker Engine, and latest docker-compose installed

Hardware Requirements:
  • Modern Xeon Processor.
  • CPU 8 Cores/vCPUs (16 recommended).
  • 64GB RAM.
  • Network: Minimum 1G between the nodes and source DB's
  • Storage: The preferred storage is attached local SSD's devices, that IOS provisioning can be set. The /var/lib/docker directory requires a volume of at least 200G * Should be increased based on project scope and data retention requirements
For a Cloud Installation:
  • If using AWS: EC2: m5.4xlarge
  • If using Azure VM: D16d v4
  • If using GCP: e2-standard-8

Linux Ports

Open the following ports on the LINUX server and make sure they are accessible from outside the machine:

22 SSH, SCP
3213, 9443, 5124, 6379 Fabric
9042, 9142 Cassandra
9093, 7270 Kafka
3000, 9090 Grafana stack

Connectivity

All servers should have access (permissions) and connectivity (network) to all legacy & target systems.
