Deployment sizing
We size disks, servers and network from how many devices capture at once and how long you keep the data. After you submit a request, an IO-AI delivery engineer will contact you.
Deployment
Workstation and cluster stay in your machine room. Data does not go to the public internet.
Setup
Capture devices use a 1 GbE port, then connect to the workstation. Capture and labelling can share a subnet.
- Current choice
- Workstation edition
- Capacity needed
- 50 TB
- Usable capacity after this setup
- 146 TB
- Peak upload bandwidth
- 378 Mbps
Estimated use
Count two kinds of device together: cameras on the robot, and cameras worn on a person’s head or body. Add up how many are capturing at the same time.
Robot capture
Usually three 480p compressed colour streams (MJPEG). Joint data is counted separately.
About 8.5 GB/h

Basis
Sizing uses compressed recordings: about 6 Mbps per 480p colour stream, about 3.5 Mbps per 720p video stream. A typical robot (three 480p cameras) is about 8.5 GB per hour; a typical headset (four 720p cameras) is about 6.9 GB per hour. These rates follow common camera layouts and bitrates in open datasets on Hugging Face, such as LeRobot and ALOHA. Uncompressed or several HD streams are an order of magnitude larger — encode on the device.
The system keeps the original recording and also writes a training export, so capacity is counted at 1.17×. Usable space then subtracts two copies or erasure coding, and assumes you expand disks at about 80% full.
How many devices can capture at once depends on the network and servers. How long you can keep data depends on disks. Size them separately. Wire the floor; do not use Wi-Fi as the main path.
