What are the Hardware Requirements to be a Node Provider?

Hardware requirements are specified for all nodes that were purchased prior to Genesis - these are 'Gen 1'.
Gen 2 hardware requirements are currently under discussion as they must be approved by the NNS.

Validated Configurations

DFINITY has validated the following Gen2 hardware configurations. Some exceed the minimum spec, but new node hardware purchased to use on the IC doesn't need to have such beefy specs. Machines which meet the minimum requirements are sufficient.

Validated configuration: ASUS

2 AMD EPYC 7313 (3,00 GHz, 16-Core, 128 MB)
16 32GB ECC Reg ATP DDR4 3200 RAM
5 6.4 TB NVMe Kioxia SSD 3D-NAND TLC U.3 (Kioxia CM6-V)
1 Asus Mainboard KMPP-D32 Series (without OCP 3.0, without Pike)
2 1600 Watt redundant PSU
1 Broadcom 25 Gigabit P225P SFP28 Dual Port Network Card


Validated configuration: Gigabyte

1 Gigabyte R182-Z93 Mercury RM110 1U Rackmount Server
2 AMD EPYC 7413 2.64 GHz, 24 Core, 180W
16 32GB 3200MHz DDR4 RDIMM
10 7.68TB SAMSUNG MZWLJ7T6HALA-0000 NVMe SSD (exceeds storage requirements)
2 1200W Redundant PSU 80 Plus Platinum Level
1 Dual Ethernet Intel I350 Gigabit Network Connection


Validated configuration: Supermicro

1 Supermicro AS-1124US-TNRP 1U Rackmount Server

16 64GB 3200MHz DDR4 RDIMM
10 7.68TB Micron NVMe SSD
2 1200W Redundant PSU 80 Plus Platinum Level
1 Dual Ethernet Intel X710 10GBASE-T Network Adapter
