QPE Hardware Recommendations
Selecting the right enterprise-level hardware for running your Quuppa system is an important step in ensuring that the Quuppa Positioning Engine (QPE) can provide the best positioning performance. As Quuppa software is tested most extensively on Linux, we recommend the use of Linux for Quuppa systems wherever possible. To help with the selection of suitable hardware, we have categorised Quuppa systems into three tiers based on typical real world deployment scenarios:
- Low end
- Mid range
- High end
These tiers take into account different factors affecting the network infrastructure and capacity requirements for the system, e.g. the number of UDP packets sent to ensure real-time tracking, the amount of tags being tracked by the system, the selected Locator settings and tag configurations. To ensure best performance, we recommend that you do not run anything else on the same machine.
The table below shows typical hardware requirements for deployments according to the defined tiers.
Tiers and Hardware Specifications
Tier | Typical Nr. of Locators | Max Incoming Packets/Second | Generic Hardware Specification |
---|---|---|---|
Low end | Max 20 | 2 000 |
|
Mid range | 20-100 | 10 000 |
|
High end | 100+ | 1 000 / thread |
