Server Requirements

Primary Production Server

The Strawberry server is hosting the Strawberry services & the database. Additionally, it can perform 24/7 proxy encoding.

• 48 GB RAM
• 16 CPU cores (Intel Xeon / AMD Opteron 2.4 GHz or comparable)
• 2× 500GB SSD (mirrored)
• A dedicated connection to the storage and a dedicated network connection to the client network (min. 10gbit Ethernet or comparable)
• RHEL 7 or newer / Centos 7 or newer, 64bit

Proxy Encoding Node

A proxy encoding node is a dedicated server for 24/7 proxy file creation. The Strawberry core server can control and load balance multiple proxy encoding nodes at once.

• 24 GB RAM
• 16 CPU cores or more (Intel Xeon / AMD Opteron 2.4 GHz or comparable)
• 2× 500GB SSD (mirrored)
• A fast connection between the proxy encoding node and the store storage (min. 10Gbit Ethernet or comparable)
• An adequate connection between the View encoder node and the Strawberry server for metadata traffic (1Gbit Ethernet)
• RHEL 7 or newer / Centos 7 or newer, 64bit

High Availability Server

• The High Availability (HA) server must have the exact same hardware and software properties as the primary Strawberry server
