System requirements for standalone MongoDB installations

These are the system requirements for standalone MongoDB installations:

A Windows 2012 Server 64-bit system or a Linux server with:

• 8GB RAM
• Intel Core i7 of Xeon E3-1230 (4 cores, 8 Threads)
• Minimum of 500GB of disk space. However, the required disk space depends on the amount of data that will be indexed into the system. If PROOFSCOPE is used, the database needs more disk space to store the pre-rendered tiles.

  Guideline to calculate required disk space for PROOFSCOPE:

  Per file and per page, 85 lossless compressed tiles per separation + 85 composite tiles are generated.

  For example CMYK PDF of 1 page means 5*85= 425 tiles, where the typical size of a tile is 50Kb. This means that this file approximately requires 20MB in MongoDB.

Interaction with firewall and anti-virus

MongoDB uses TCP port 27017, and binds to the IP address of the machine. If firewall or anti-virus software is installed on the same machine, make sure that this software is configured appropriately in order not to interfere with the TCP communications between CLOUDFLOW and MongoDB.
