Deployment Planning

Proper deployment planning is essential for ensuring the performance, scalability, and resilience of a simplyblock storage cluster.

Before installation, key factors such as node sizing, storage capacity, and fault tolerance mechanisms should be carefully evaluated to match workload requirements. This section provides guidance on sizing management nodes and storage nodes, helping administrators allocate adequate CPU, memory, and disk resources for optimal cluster performance.

Additionally, it explores selectable erasure coding schemes, detailing how different configurations impact storage efficiency, redundancy, and recovery performance. Other critical considerations, such as network infrastructure, high availability strategies, and workload-specific optimizations, are also covered to assist in designing a simplyblock deployment that meets both operational and business needs.
