DSK Node
This page explains the setup options for a DSK node and its prerequisites.
Prerequisites
Ecosystem
Your new DSK Node has to join a DSK Ecosystem. In general, there are no limitations on how you can structure a DSK Ecosystem. We recommend a segmentation in 2 categories:
Private DSK Ecosystems for the data exchange in your value chain with for example your customers, suppliers and partners.
Open DSK Ecosystems for the data exchange with businesses, researchers and communities outside your value chain to drive innovation, try new use-cases and services or monetize data.
Requirements
The requirements to install a DSK Node depend significantly on the amount of data being processed. As a standard infrastructure setup, we recommend that you meet the following requirements:
Software Requirements
- Any up-to-date Linux distribution
- Recommended: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or later
- Docker Engine (≥20) + Docker-Compose (≥1.26)
Hardware Requirements
| Type | Minimum Requirement | Recommend Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 2 Cores | 4 Cores |
| RAM | 8 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Storage System | 10 GB | 15 GB |
| Storage Data | depending on use-case | n/a |
If you have any questions regarding infrastructure requirements, please talk to your contact person at Tributech or send an email to our Customer Advisory Team.
