- More CPUs = More concurrent processing jobs = Larger disk requirement. With 4 CPUs, 160GB is a minimum space recommendation.
- Windows allows you to specify a separate data directory from the application files (where the processing is done); Linux does not. Regardless of OS, if you maintain the media processor application and the data on the same drive (the main partition), be sure to allow for sufficient space.
- Processing long recordings, and especially editing long recordings, consumes a lot of temporary space on the media processor. As a result, be sure your configuration allows for at least 32 GB of free space on the main partition at all times (the partition onto which the media processor application is installed).
- For a large production system, calculate space based on 40GB per CPU core. In addition, if the media processor server contains 8 cores or more, we strongly suggest that you specify the data directory to be 2 or more RAID 0 SAS drives. The reason is that without the RAID, the disk I/O for the processing becomes a bottleneck, wasting the additional core processing capability. Using a RAID for data also allows you to plan for future growth and to scale the system appropriately.
