metaBOF scaling excel helps define the hardware requirements. Only the input field in blue can be adapted.
The workbook provides 4 tabs:
Tab 1: metaBOF Scaling calculates the needs based on
- number of camera lanes
- vehicles per day per lane
- size of PVMyr file (~image resolution)
- retention period for overview & infrared images and metadata.
- It also considers 3 environment: production, backup redundancy and staging
- It includes optional neural network tools for MMCR and LPR (OCR2)

Tab 2: On Customer HW
- Recalculates based on existing Customer Hardware as compared to standard hardware at Myriade.
- And defines total required VM’s for Application servers, SQL servers and MongoDb servers.

Tab 3: Order
- Gives an overview of #Cores, #RAM, #IOPS, #TB SSD, TB storage and #GPU
- For Application servers, SQL servers, MongoDb servers and storage
- Again, for Production, Redundancy and Staging

Tab 4: Growth Projection
- Will extrapolate the needs according to % growth figures (per month, per quarter or per year)
- Over 10 years starting from a given year
- It considers PVMyr file size and retention
- It functions in two steps:
- [Auto-fill] provides basic input which can be overwritten by the user
- [Projection] provides the calculation based on final input data over 10 years.
- It shows the most important data in a chart.
