Hardware Requirements for Archival Node
This page covers the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for engaging with the NEAR platform as an Archival node.
Recommended Hardware Specificationsโ
Hardware | Recommended Specifications |
---|---|
CPU | 8-Core (16-Thread) Intel i7/Xeon or equivalent with AVX support |
CPU Features | CMPXCHG16B, POPCNT, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, AVX |
RAM | 24GB DDR4 |
Storage | 7 Terabyte SSD |
Verify AVX support on Linux by issuing the command $ lscpu | grep -oh avx
. If the output is empty, your CPU is not supported.
Minimal Hardware Specificationsโ
Hardware | Minimal Specifications |
---|---|
CPU | 8-Core (16-Thread) Intel i7/Xeon or equivalent with AVX support |
RAM | 16GB DDR4 |
Storage | 7 Terabyte SSD |
Verify AVX support on Linux by issuing the command $ lscpu | grep -oh avx
. If the output is empty, your CPU is not supported.
Cost Estimationโ
Estimated monthly costs depending on operating system:
Cloud Provider | Machine Size | Linux |
---|---|---|
AWS | m5.2xlarge | $330 CPU + $800 storage โ |
GCP | n2-standard-8 | $280 CPU + $800 storage โ |
Azure | Standard_F8s_v2 | $180 CPU + $800 storage โ |
( โ ) The storage cost will grow overtime as an archival node stores more data from the growing NEAR blockchain.
