Minimum Requirements for Storage Nodes Eligibility


Overview​

The following minimum hardware requirements nodes are as follows, and are subject to change based on network research.

info

The minimum requirements are of 20 Mbps read/write and upload/download are set based on a 1 TB storage commitment. For higher amount of storage provided, please make sure the read/write and upload/download speeds should increase proportionately with the amount of storage provided, otherwise the node may suffer a low performance score.


Minimum Values​

Storage capacity: 900 GB
Upload Speed: 20 Mbps or 2.5 MB/s
Download Speed: 20 Mbps or 2.5 MB/s
Read Speed: 20 Mbps or 2.5 MB/s
Write Speed: 20 Mbps or 2.5 MB/s
Uptime Percent: 90%
Storage Used: no minimum set, will increase with usage
Demand percent: no minimum set, will increase with usage

Scores​

Scores based on the above values:

SUT (Uptime Score) = 36.78794412
WUT (Uptime Weight) = 10
SCS (Used Storage Score) = 10
WCS (Used Storage Weight) = 10
SR (Read Score) = 88.25
WR (Read Weight) = 20
SW (Write Score) = 88.25
SW (Write Weight) = 10
SU (Upload Score) = 95.92
WU (Upload Weight) = 20
SD (Download Score) = 95.92
WD (Download Weight) = 10
SDE (Demand Score) = 20
WDE (Demand Weight) = 20
P (Performance Score) = 58.93
Amount of IAG to be staked = 2981.25

where,
Base USD staked per GB = 0.5
IAG value = 0.16 USD
alpha = 0.9

Above scores and Amount of IAG to be staked are calculated from the formulas here.


Comparison between two Iagon Nodes​

When comparing two Iagon Nodes, consider the following aspects:

Processing Power and Capacity​

  • Assess the computational capacity of each node.
  • Compare their processing power (CPU) and available memory (RAM).
  • Nodes with higher processing capabilities have higher read/write capability.

Storage Resources​

  • Evaluate the storage capacity of each node.
  • Compare available disk space (SSD, HDD) and data redundancy mechanisms.
  • Nodes with larger storage can accommodate more data.

Network Latency and Bandwidth​

  • Consider network performance.
  • Compare latency (response time) and available bandwidth.
  • Nodes with low latency and high bandwidth contribute to efficient data exchange.

Reliability and Uptime​

  • Assess the reliability of each node.
  • Compare uptime (availability) and historical performance.
  • Reliable nodes contribute to a stable network.

Geographical Distribution​

  • Nodes may be distributed globally.
  • Compare their geographical locations.
  • Nodes closer to users reduce latency and improve content delivery.

The Following table is comparison between two nodes with different storage size and different capacities:​
