BellaDati IoT Data Controller is a Java based application with micro-services architecture. It is available as a cloud-based service or can be deployed on your own hardware in your infrastructure.

This page describes the supported platforms and system requirements for version 0.6+.

IOT modules and heapspace Xmx

There four base modules of IoT called : audit, receiver, sender and belladati module; installation comes with default  heapspace (Xmx) values for them, particularly there are 256, 1024, 2048  and 512 (in MB)   It is strongly recommended to modify the values for specific situation;  As en example  when Belladati module is expected to utilization, Xmx will be at least 2048MB;   more details / description see below.

Server

Hardware

In an on-premise environment, a Controller installation consists of multiple distributed modules. These can run on the same computer or on different machines. For evaluation purposes, it is usually sufficient to run all modules on the same computer, e.g. a developer workstation.

Controller hardware requirements mainly depend on the amount of data being processed and the number of concurrent requests during peak minutes. To ensure optimal performance under any circumstances, we group our hardware requirements in 3 tiers depending on usage characteristics. Please note that even so, these configurations can only be guidelines and actual requirements and performance can heavily depend on your usage pattern.

We would appreciate if you could let us know what hardware configuration works in your environment. Please create a ticket in our support system, describing your hardware configuration as well as the number of sensors and data records in your Controller installation.


Minimal Configuration

This configuration is recommended for data throughput up to 100 requests per second (e.g. 100 sensors where each sensor is sending up to 60 requests every minute). We suggest using this for demo or sandbox purposes. Please verify that target machine meets following minimal configuration, because Controller needs sufficient resources (free RAM, CPU, free disk space) to run correctly.

For production environment, we recommend to build an distributed environment.

High-load Configuration

This configuration is recommended for a up to 1.000.000 requests per second (e.g. 1.000.000 sensors  where each sensor is sending up to 60 requests every minute). It is necessary to run modules on different machines for this configuration.
