The following table describes the environment for the different deployment types:

Deployment Type	Environment Description
Sandbox	Used for proof of concepts or as a sandbox with minimal users.
Basic	Used for low volume processing with low levels of concurrency.
Standard	Used for high volume processing with low levels of concurrency.
Advanced	Used for high volume processing with high levels of concurrency.

The following table provides the minimum sizing requirements for PowerCenter or Data Engineering products:

Deployment Type	Disk Space per Node	Total Virtual Cores	RAM per Node
Sandbox	50 GB	16	32 GB
Basic	100 GB	24	64 GB
Standard	100 GB	48	64 GB
Advanced	100 GB	96	128 GB

You can create an Informatica domain with one node and run all application services on the same node. If you create an Informatica domain with multiple nodes, you can run the application services on separate nodes. When you plan the application services for the domain, consider system requirements based on the services that you run on a node.

The following table lists the minimum system requirements for a node based on some common configuration scenarios:

Services	Processor	Memory	Disk Space
One node runs the following services: Analyst Service Content Management Service Data Integration Service Metadata Manager Service Model Repository Service PowerCenter Integration Service PowerCenter Repository Service Search Service Web Services Hub	2 CPUs with multiple cores	12 GB	20 GB
One node runs the following services: Analyst Service Content Management Service Data Integration Service Model Repository Service Search Service	2 CPUs with multiple cores	12 GB	20 GB
One node runs the following service: Analyst Service	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	n/a
One node runs the following service: Search Service	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	10 GB
One node runs the following services: Analyst Service Search Service	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	10 GB
One node runs the following services: Metadata Manager Service PowerCenter Integration Service PowerCenter Repository Service	2 CPUs with multiple cores	8 GB	10 GB
One node runs the following services: Metadata Manager Service PowerCenter Integration Service PowerCenter Repository Service	2 CPUs with multiple cores	8 GB	10 GB
One node runs the following services: PowerCenter Integration Service PowerCenter Repository Service	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	10 GB
One node runs the following services: Data Integration Service Model Repository Service	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	10 GB
One node runs the following services: Data Integration Service Content Management Service	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	10 GB
One node runs the following service: Metadata Manager Service	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	10 GB
One node runs the following service component: Metadata Manager Agent	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	400 MB
One node runs the following service: Web Services Hub	1 CPU with multiple cores	4 GB	5 GB

The sizing requirements account for the following factors:

Disk space required to extract the installer
Temporary disk space to run the installer
Disk space required to install the services and components
Disk space required for log directories
Requirements to run the application services

The sizing numbers do not account for operational data processing and object caching requirements for native mode of execution.
