Thank you for the quick reply!

You are very welcome.

Yes there will be for the moment a single DBMS with 2 big databases (1.2 GB and 800 MB respectively).
We would like to create a single hub for the synchronization of several other databases in future (someone will be really huge).
Which configuration can you suggest us?

I don't anticipate any special configuration is needed. Tomcat likes around 128MB of memory and you'll of course need enough disk space.

Would it be possible to create a test environment with you for testing the sync from our server?

Sure. If you get the resources mapped, we can verify that they are indexable.

Cheers,

Tim

Thank you,
Massimo

Dear Massimo

You are likely to be the first person to really use *large* datasets in the IPT, although we have put several 10s of millions of records in a test environment.
The IPT has been carefully designed to use a low memory footprint. To start with, I would recommend 128MB for Tomcat, and enough disk space to hold your output archives. There are no particular requirements other than disk space for larger datasets.

Will the input be sourced from a database?

Best wishes,
Tim

Dear IPT staff,
My name is Massimo Buonaiuto, Multimedia Web Specialist at Bioversity International.
I am very interested in installing locally the IPT for the synchronization of some datasets we have with GBIF.
At the moment we plan to synchronize about 5 GB and I would like to receive suggestions and best practices for a correct and successfully installation in-house.

Thank you and kind regards,
Massimo
