TDV Server

This page lists system requirements for TIBCO® Data Virtualization Server version 8.8.

Hardware

TDV performance depends on processor speeds, available memory, network bandwidth, data source response times, query join types, the complexity of views, and many other implementation factors. Fast response times and support for a large active user base and large loads are achieved with:

• Fast multi-core CPUs
• Large amounts of RAM
• Ample disk space
• GB Ethernet network connections on the same subnet as the most heavily trafficked data source

If hardware configurations are less than optimal, TDV functions equally well, although more slowly, for most development tasks. Given below are the minimum hardware requirements.

Processor

Minimum: 2 CPUs/cores

Recommended: 8 CPUs/cores
RAM

Minimum: 8 GB memory

Recommended: 32 GB memory
Hard Disk Space

Minimum: 8 GB read/write, persistent storage.

  • 2.0 GB for TDV installation

  • 1.0 GB for the TDV repository database

  • 5.0 GB for future growth (e.g. default TDV temp directory, TDV VCS data, logs, file cached data, and future TDV patch/Java/repository software updates)

Recommended: 32 GB of readable/writable persistent storage

For details about different TDV deployments, please refer to Sizing Guidelines for TDV.

Kerberos Support

Enterprise users can leverage Kerberos infrastructure to authenticate just once to secure access to TDV-defined resources. The duration of an authenticated session is set by the Kerberos administrator.

TDV supports pass-through of the Kerberos tokens from the authenticated client through TDV to the Kerberos server and to the data sources.

The TIBCO® Data Virtualization Server, data sources, and clients of the TDV Server must be configured to support Kerberos token pass-through and SSO.

The KDC Kerberos v5 Server must already be installed and running in your environment before you install TDV Server and Studio. You then configure the Kerberos system to use with TDV, establishing a security context in which Kerberos and the TDV identify each other.

Different browsers have different settings to enable Kerberos support. TIBCO recommends that you search the web to confirm the instructions to enable Kerberos SPNEGO authentication and credential delegation for your browser and operating system.

For example in Firefox, add the url to both network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris and switch network.negotiate-auth.allow-non-fqdn to true.
