Hello Alexey, The node count is 20 per site and there will be two sites. RF=3. But since the software isn't complete and the database code is going through a rewrite we aren't sure about space requirements. The node count is only a guess, bases on the number of dev nodes in use. We will have better information when the rewrite is done and testing resumes.
The data will be time series data. It was binary blobs originally but we have found that the new datastax c# drivers have improved alot in terms of read performance. I'm curious. What is your definition of commodity. My IT people seem to think that the servers must be super robust. Personally I'm not sure if that should be the case.
