What are the recommendations for disk partitioning on the application server? Is it better to have one disk (C:) or several?

  • Disk space:
    • for the partition with the OS, we recommend approx. 20 GB (Linux) or 100 GB (Windows)
    • for the partition with D2000, we recommend at least 40 GB for the start, while the archive database usually has the largest consumption - several GB to several TB (for SELT systems, the monitoring database - up to tens of GB)
    • if depository databases are enabled in the D2000 Archive (storage of historical data with unlimited depth), we recommend a separate partition for the depository databases (the size of the depository databases will gradually grow on it). Currently, there are customers with more than 20 TB depository databases, but newer versions of the D2000 allow you to turn on depository data compression, which usually has a compression ratio of 1:10 and better, which significantly saves disk space.

For the partition with the OS and D2000, we recommend fast disks (SSD), for the partition with depositories, slower HDDs or NAS are also sufficient.
