Sample Cloud/OnPrem Setups

These mentions some hardware configuration for the Renderserver on cloud/on-premise. Multiple render servers can be used on one Portal for load balancing.

Oracle

For apx. 8-10 simultaneous streams:
Oracle VM.GPU3.1 / 16GB GPU VRAM. (or 2x VM GPU 2.1 / 2.x) For a even more streams, upscaling to VM.GPU3.x is recommended.

Azure

For apx. 8-10 simultaneous streams:
Min: Standard_NV24s_v3 (16GB VRAM).

Recommended for more streams:
Standard_NV48s_v3 (M60, 32 GB VRAM) or Standard_NV36ads_A10_v5 (24GB VRAM).

AWS

For apx. 8-10 simultaneous streams:
AWS EC2 G3 with 2 GPUs (16GB VRAM). For more streams, an AWS EC2 G5 Instance is recommended (multi-GPUs).

On Prem

Nvidia GPU (e.g. RTX 5000,A4500) 2GB VRAM + 4 GB RAM per stream Min. 8 CPU cores, setup may vary according to use case
