Since the early days of the V2 network, we collected a ton of data on the actual network behavior. What we’ve found so far is that the telemetry, monitoring and measurement of the V3 network puts the capabilities of the previous network to shame. We’re not actually raising the bar for entry to the network from V2 to V3. We’re just being much more transparent on the types of nodes that will be most successful on the network - both in terms of economic rewards for storage node operators, as well as allowing the network to achieve durability, availability and performance levels equivalent to, or better than, the mega-cloud competition. So, what does it take to be successful?
Minimum Recommended Storage Node Requirements:
- A minimum of one (1) processor core dedicated to each storage node service
- A minimum of 500 GB with no maximum of available space per node
- 2 TB of bandwidth available per month; unlimited preferred
- 5 Mbps bandwidth upstream
- 25 Mbps bandwidth downstream
- Online and operational 99.3 % of the time per month (MAX total downtime of 5 hours monthly)
Preferred Storage Node Requirements:
- A minimum of one (1) processor core dedicated to each node service
- A minimum of 8 TB and a maximum of 24 TB of available space per node
- 16+ TB of unmetered bandwidth available per month; unlimited preferred
- 100 Mbps bandwidth upstream
- 100 Mbps bandwidth downstream
- Online and operational 99.5% of the time per month
