∼ 1 TB/hr ◮ Distinct sources: ∼ 107 − 108, ⊲ 15, 000 measurements per unique source per year ⊲ A measurement is about 300 B ◮ Stored source properties reduce to 50 − 100 TB/yr ◮ Peaks over 10,000 sources per second ◮ n transients per day, n > 0 ◮ Actively use database ⇒ move algorithms and statistics inside database engine ◮ Real-time data access, quick responses ⇒ single node ◮ Accumulate data over time ⇒ multiple nodes Bart Scheers | TKP Meeting | 2014-01-09 Transients Database Performance
