Hardware Requirements

The resources Opencast needs highly depend on what and how much material you process on your cluster and how you configured your Opencast. Thus, treat this as a sensible starting point for testing out Opencast, nothing more.

Sensible requirements for an Opencast server:

• Virtual machine
• Four cores
• 8GB of memory

Additional notes about resources:

• Video processing is hard work and mostly profits from more CPU power
• More memory is only necessary for very large installations or with some special use-cases
