Nucleus Sizing Guide

Introduction

This page provides the information needed for system administrators size their nucleus servers.

Nucleus Sizing

Version	Users	Notes	Operating System
Omniverse Nucleus Workstation	2 to 15 Concurrent Users 2 to 10 Live Edit Users	Designed for small groups Performance will depend on workstation	Windows 10/11 Linux
Omniverse Enterprise Nucleus Docker	500 Concurrent Users 25 Live Edit Users	Designed for Production Environments SSO Support Large File Transfer Support (LFT) Secure Transfer	Linux Docker

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.

Omniverse Nucleus Workstation Hardware Minimum Requirements

• CPU: 6+ Cores​ (3.0 GHz or Higher)

• Memory: 16 GB ​

• Storage: 50 GB

Omniverse Enterprise Nucleus Docker Hardware Minimum Requirements

• CPU: 12 Cores​ (3.0 GHz or Higher)

• Memory: 32 GB ​

• Storage: 250 GB

Note

General rules for designing 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.
