Sizing: Informatica Domain

This section describes several considerations and recommendations for configuring VMs dedicated to the Informatica domain.

Deployment Types

The following table contains guidelines for choosing the deployment type for the domain:

Deployment Type	Use Case	Typical configuration
Sandbox	Proof of concepts or as a sandbox environment with minimal users	16 cores, 32 GB RAM, and about 50 GB disk space
Basic	Low volume processing, low levels of concurrency	24 cores, 64 GB RAM, and about 100 GB disk space
Standard	High volume processing, low levels of concurrency	Multi-node setups configured with 64 GB RAM, more than 100 GB disk space per node, and 48 cores across nodes
Advanced	High volume processing, high levels of concurrency	Multi-node setups configured with 128 GB RAM, more than 100 GB disk space per node, and 96 cores across nodes

Minimum Requirements

The following table lists the minimum hardware requirements for the server on which the Informatica domain runs:

Deployment Type	Total CPU Cores¹	Total System Memory	Disk Space Per Node²
Sandbox	16	32 GB	50 GB
Basic	24	32 GB	100 GB +
Standard	36	64 GB	100 GB +
Advanced	96	128 GB	100 GB +
¹ CPU cores are physical cores.
² Disk space requirement is for Informatica services. Additional disk capacity is required to process data in the native run-time environment.

Informatica services are designed to scale. You can begin with a basic deployment type. Over time, you can promote your domain to a standard or advanced deployment type to increase computational resources.
