[ome-users] Hardware Requirements

-llya,

Thanks for your response.  I am hoping to get some help from users who
have tried installing OME on Red Hat Enterprise.

Is this data server different than the OMEDS?  Design document states
that this is metadata storage, but I was not sure if this server will
contain the image files also.  Is there a omeds and another data
storage server using postgres?  Or is this the same server?

All I am aware currently is that we hve about 2 terabytes of pixel
data with a 100 MB dataset of TIFF files only differing in a couple of
microscopic acquisition parameters but shares dozens of common
biological attributes.  Not much more than that. Do we have to import
all these files into the data server?
