Hardware requirements
Plan the physical infrastructure for a baseline production on-premises deployment
Read time 1 minuteLast updated 6 hours ago
Use this page to estimate the physical hardware for a baseline production on-premises deployment. Actual sizing depends on user volume, workload concurrency, transformation complexity, storage footprint, and your availability requirements.
Note
This page applies to customers who supply their own physical or datacenter hardware. If you deploy to an existing managed Kubernetes platform, use the Kubernetes resource profiles on Overview of the infrastructure to determine sizing. The profiles (small, medium, large) specify Kubernetes resource allocations rather than physical hardware. Use the medium profile for production by default.
Typical infrastructure profile
A baseline production deployment requires approximately the following capacity:- 88 vCPUs
- 400 GB RAM
- Supporting database, storage, observability, and internal platform services
Recommended hardware for production
For production, high availability, and spare capacity, provision the following hardware:Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Compute servers | Three enterprise rack servers, each with 24–32 cores and 256 GB RAM |
| Storage | 8–12 TB enterprise NVMe or all-flash usable capacity |
| Networking | 10/25 GbE switching, firewall, and cabling |
| Backup and disaster recovery | Backup appliance or backup integration |
| UPS and power protection | Rack UPS and related power equipment |
| Optional GPU | NVIDIA L4 or equivalent,, where transformation workload requires it |
Sizing variables
Adjust the hardware profile based on the following factors:- User volume: the number of concurrent users who access Unity Asset Manager
- Workload concurrency: the number of simultaneous transformations and operations
- Transformation licensing: the number of concurrent transformations your Unity Asset Transformer SDK license permits; licensing can limit throughput independently of GPU and CPU capacity
- Transformation complexity: the size and complexity of the 3D assets you transform
- Storage footprint: the total volume of assets you store on the platform
- Availability requirements: your high availability targets and redundancy needs
