Nucleus Sizing Guide

If you are a system administrator who wants to setup a Nucleus server, you have two options available to you: Omniverse Nucleus Workstation and Omniverse Enterprise Nucleus Server (Docker). This page provides the information on the sizing and hardware requirements for both options. Use this information to choose your setup and size your Nucleus server.

Sizing specification

Users

Notes

Operating System

  • 2 to 15 Concurrent Users

  • 2 to 10 Live Edit Users

  • Designed for small groups

  • Performance will depend on workstation

  • Windows 10/11

  • Linux

Important

  • Optimal data transfer mechanisms such as HTTP, multithreading, and similar optimizations are not possible with Omniverse Nucleus Workstation​.

  • Advanced authentication features, like Single Sign On, when shipped, will not be available with Omniverse Nucleus Workstation. Only the most basic login/password based auth with internal to this instance accounts will ever be supported.

Designing a file server

Here are some general rules and guidelines to keep in mind when designing your file server:

  • Larger system memory will improve OS filesystem cache, this important for large amount of concurrent file transfer​.

  • Storage will depend on project size. For M&E VFX this may be 100s of TBs.​

  • Additional cores for LFT as number of concurrent users grows. For large servers recommend running LFT on separate CPU socket.
