Primary Strawberry Production Server
The primary Strawberry production server hosts the Strawberry services and the database. It can also perform 24/7 proxy encoding.
Minimum Requirements:
- 48 GB RAM
- 32 logical cores / 2.8 GHz base clock (Intel or AMD)
- 2× 1 TB NVME SSD (mirrored)
- Optional: One or more supported NVIDIA GPUs for high-performance proxy encoding (see list below)
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Server
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server will be supported until the end of 2025
Proxy Encoding Node (CPU or GPU)
Minimum Requirements:
A proxy encoding node is a dedicated server for 24/7 proxy file creation. The Strawberry core server can simultaneously control and load balance multiple proxy encoding nodes. Strawberry supports GPU-based proxy encoding via Nvidia’s NVENC technology, making proxy encoding 200% – 500% faster compared to CPU encoding.
- 24 GB RAM
- 32 logical cores / 2.4 GHz base clock (Intel or AMD)
- 2× 1 TB SSD (mirrored)
- Recommended: One or more supported NVIDIA GPUs for high-performance proxy encoding (see list below)
- An adequate connection between the View encoder node and the Strawberry server for metadata traffic (1Gbit Ethernet)
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will be supported until the end of 2025
Supported GPUs for Proxy Encoding
- NVIDIA A16 (This card provides the fastest encoder throughput)
- NVIDIA Tesla M60
- NVIDIA Tesla P100
- NVIDIA Tesla V100
- NVIDIA L40
- NVIDIA L40S
- NVIDIA L4
- NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation
- NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation
- NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation
- NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation
- NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation
