## Configure Gitaly
Deploying Gitaly in its own server can benefit GitLab installations that are
larger than a single machine. Gitaly node requirements are dependent on data,
specifically the number of projects and their sizes. It's recommended that each
Gitaly node store no more than 5TB of data. Your 2K setup may require one or more
nodes depending on your repository storage requirements.
We strongly recommend that all Gitaly nodes should be set up with SSD disks with a throughput of at least
8,000 IOPS for read operations and 2,000 IOPS for write, as Gitaly has heavy I/O.
These IOPS values are recommended only as a starter as with time they may be
adjusted higher or lower depending on the scale of your environment's workload.
If you're running the environment on a Cloud provider
you may need to refer to their documentation on how configure IOPS correctly.

The Gitaly node requirements are dependent on customer data, specifically the number of
projects and their repository sizes. Two nodes are recommended as an absolute minimum.
Each Gitaly node should store no more than 5TB of data and have the number of
[`gitaly-ruby` workers](../gitaly/index.md#gitaly-ruby) set to 20% of available CPUs.
Additional nodes should be considered in conjunction with a review of expected
data size and spread based on the recommendations above.
