MFT node resource requirements update
Compute capacity guidelines
Node Performance and Resource Allocation
When configuring a MFT node, it is critical to ensure sufficient computing capacity for optimal performance.
The following guidelines should be considered:
Dedicated computing resources
-
The MFT node requires dedicated computing resources to maintain consistent and reliable performance
-
Minimum recommended allocation: 4 CPU cores when co-located with other applications
-
Avoid placing the MFT node on servers running resource-intensive applications such as:
- Database servers
- Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems
- Heavy data processing applications
Performance considerations
Sharing computational resources can significantly impact integration process execution speed and reliability.
Recommended configuration
-
Ideally, deploy the MFT node on a dedicated server
-
If co-located, ensure:
- Minimum 4 CPU cores are exclusively available to the node
- Sufficient memory allocation per existing minimum requirements
- Limited concurrent resource-consuming processes
Best practices
- Regularly monitor node performance
- Conduct periodic resource utilization assessments
- Adjust server configuration to maintain optimal integration performance
These guidelines help prevent potential performance bottlenecks and ensure consistent integration process execution.
