Hardware Requirements

The hardware requirements vary depending on multiple factors including: the deployment type (combo, cluster, or high availability), seat count, repository size, and usage patterns. This page provides guidelines that help estimate the required hardware specifications.

Helix TeamHub is written to be efficient and lightweight. However, due to the nature of the product, most of the activities trigger calls to the underlying version control system. Keeping this in mind makes choosing the right hardware easier because TeamHub usage is estimated along with the underlying components.

Minimal Requirements

The Helix TeamHub technology stack consists of a number of components. For them to stay coherent, the following minimum hardware specifications are required for any server with a TeamHub installation:

Resource Requirement
CPU 2.6GHz
Memory 4GB
Root disk 40GB
Data Storage High-performance SAN or locally attached storage

Determining hardware capacity requirements

TeamHub is battle-tested to serve thousands of users. The variation in usage patterns makes it hard to give accurate numbers, but the following matrix can be used as reference based on past experience.

Seats Memory CPU Cores Root Disk Space
0-100 8GB 2 40GB
100-500 16GB 4 40GB
500-1000 32GB 8 40GB
1000-2000 64GB+ 16 40GB

Because the system deals with a lot of IO operations to the repositories on disk, it is recommended to have an ultra-fast (SSD/SAN) data storage with speedy access.
