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

System requirements for IPT

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
