Storage Node
Minimum Requirements for Storage Node Eligibility
Overview
The following minimum hardware requirements nodes are as follows, and are subject to change based on network research.
INFO
The minimum performance requirements are set based on a 1 TB storage commitment. For higher amount of storage provided, we recommend 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
| Requirement | Minimum Value |
|---|---|
| Storage Capacity | 900 GB |
| RAM | 4 GB or more |
| 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% |
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
