Hardware requirements

The S1 system provides a software-only solution using off-the-shelf hardware components. However, to install the S1 software certain hardware requirements must be fulfilled.

Hardware category Requirements
Node Server
  • An x86 64-bit server.
Storage
  • S1 HA deployments: Connect two S1 nodes to a shared dual port disk enclosure (JBOD) or use cluster-in-a-box solution.
  • At least one SATADOM (Serial ATA Disk on Module) Boot Device or RAID-protected disk with a minimum of 128 GB of space. This storage space is to be used for the S1 operating system installation.
CPU
  • A minimum of 8 cores. Preferably a dual Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2620v2 or higher.
RAM
  • A minimum of 64GB RAM.
Network Interfaces
  • Management: 1 Gbps.
  • Data connection: 10/40/100 Gbps.
  • S1 high availability (HA) deployments: an additional 10/40/100 Gbps interface is required for HA heartbeats and traffic.
