Minimum Requirements to Run the Denodo Platform On Premise¶

These are the minimum requirements to run the Denodo Platform on premise, in a production environment:

The Denodo Platform can be installed on a virtual machine with similar characteristics, provided that equivalent resources are permanently allocated.

Minimum Hardware Requirements when Installing each Module Separately¶

In some scenarios, you may want to run each module on a separate computer, Kubernetes pod, cloud instance… That is, installing Virtual DataPort in one host, Data Catalog in another, etc.

If you do this, these are the minimum requirements for running each module separately, in a production environment:

• Virtual DataPort: the same requirements above and for the other modules, you use these:

• For each host that runs each of the other modules (Scheduler, Data Catalog ….):

  Processor	2 cores
  Physical memory (RAM)	8 gigabytes
  Disk space	Minimum: 10 gigabytes free Recommended: 15 gigabytes free

Considerations Regarding the Disk Space Requirements of the Denodo Platform¶

The amount of free disk space required depends on the use of the Denodo Platform:

• A full installation of the Denodo Platform (i.e. installation of all the modules) uses 3.5 gigabytes.

• The metadata of each module of the Denodo Platform is stored locally (e.g. information about the data sources, views, web services, Scheduler jobs, etc.) and usually does not go over a few hundred megabytes.

• Space used by updates: Denodo keeps a backup copy of the libraries that are being updated. Each update takes up to 300 megabytes. Considering the number of updates released per each major version, the backup copies end up using around 5 gigabytes.

• Space used for swapping data: to avoid memory overflows, Virtual DataPort swaps to disk the intermediate results of queries when they do not fit in memory.

  Usually, most of the processing is pushed down to the source so the number of rows processed by Virtual DataPort is low and swapping is not required. However, with very complex queries where Virtual DataPort processes billions of rows, some data is swapped to disk to avoid a memory overflow. This is why, for complex scenarios, we recommend having 100 gigabytes of free disk space.

  The section Memory Management of the Virtual DataPort Administration Guide explains when Virtual DataPort swaps intermediate results to disk.

Running the Denodo Platform on Docker¶

The Denodo Platform can run on Docker. Denodo distributes a Docker image you can download from the Denodo Support Portal. The Denodo Platform Container Quick Start Guide explains how to use this image.

Requirements for the Virtual DataPort Administration Tool¶

Any modern computer running Windows or Linux can run the Virtual DataPort Administration Tool.
