Hi RRAO,  Doubling the frame rate typically doubles the size of the files (you are doubling the number of frames) if you are using the same codec and same resolution. So if you are using 24TB currently (48TB cluster @ 50% utilization), doubling it means 48TB of video data.  Add two more nodes for 72TB total and you are at 66% for the new workflow.  Make sense?  Cheers, Matt
Need to upgrade 4 node X200 48 TB cluster with 50% utilization of video. Want to upgrade from 15 FPS (NTSC) in H.264 codec with 15 days retention policy, 30 FPS (NTSC) the same codec with the same days retention policy... How many nodes of the same type will need to add and not exceed 70% raw capacity?  I don't know how to calculate and could not find any pages that explain the course. Please help.
