Overview

Swarm Configurator is a tool that determines the hardware specifications needed for the various components in the Swarm cluster. Customer inputs are required with respect to cluster specifications, therefore, some data needs to be collected through DataCore Cloud UI, including:

• Storage Characteristics

• Data Protection Requirements

  • Cluster Replication configuration

  • Protection Scheme configuration (for example, Erasure Coding scheme)

• Client Characteristics
