Hardware Requirements - Nonce

Recommended Hardware

Select hardware based on the number of miners managed by the Agent. The following recommendations assume a 5-minute polling interval and standard telemetry payloads.

Miner Count	Example Hardware	Minimum Memory	CPU	Storage
Up to 1,000	Raspberry Pi 5 or equivalent SBC	2 GB	Quad-core ARM or dual-core x86_64	32 GB
Up to 10,000	Intel Core i5 or equivalent desktop	4 GB	4-core mid-range CPU (with hyperthreading)	32 GB
Up to 20,000	Intel Core i7 or equivalent workstation	8 GB	8-core mid-range CPU (with hyperthreading)	32 GB
Up to 30,000	Intel Core i7 or equivalent workstation	16 GB	10-core mid-range CPU (with hyperthreading)	32 GB
50,000+	Intel Core i9 or equivalent server	24 GB	12-core mid-range CPU (with hyperthreading)	32 GB

Deployment Considerations

Network: The Agent host must maintain stable connectivity to all miners. Gigabit Ethernet is recommended.
Storage: Use an SSD to maintain consistent performance as the deployment grows.

The storage recommendations assume an SSD. This reduces I/O bottlenecks when the Agent writes miner data and scan logs or caches firmware packages.

Allocate additional capacity when the host runs network scans, firmware updates, or multiple Agent instances concurrently.
