Summary

This joint paper describes the key hardware considerations when configuring a successful Tigergraph database  deployment and recommends configurations based on the next generation Dell PowerEdge Server portfolio offerings.

TigerGraph helps make graph technology more accessible. TigerGraph DB is democratizing the adoption of advanced analytics with Intel’s 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors by enabling non-technical users to accomplish as much with graphs as the experts do. TigerGraph is a native parallel graph database purpose-built for analyzing massive amounts of data (terabytes).

Dell PowerEdge R660 and R760 servers with 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver a fast, scalable, portable, and cost-effective solution to implement and operationalize deep analysis of large pools of data.

Key considerations and industry use cases

• Manufacturing/Supply Chain.  Delays in orders or shipments that cannot reach their final destination translate to poor customer experience, increased customer attrition, financial penalties for delivery delays and the loss of potential customer revenues.

With the mounting strains on global supply chains, companies are now investing heavily into technologies and processes to enhance adaptability and resiliency in their supply chains.

Real-time analysis of changes in supply and demand requires expensive database joins across the board, with the data for suppliers, orders, products, locations, and the inventory for parts and sub-assemblies. Global supply chains have multiple manufacturing partners, requiring integrating the external data from partners with the internal data. TigerGraph, Intel, and Dell Technologies provide a powerful Graph engine to find product relations and shipping alternatives for your business needs.

• Financial Services.  Fraudsters are getting more sophisticated over time, creating a network of synthetic identities that combine legitimate information, such as social security or national identification number, name, phone number, and physical address. TigerGraph’s solutions on 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors help you isolate and identify issues to keep your business safe.
•  Recommendation Engines. Every business faces the challenge of maximizing the revenue opportunity from every customer interaction. Companies offering a wide range of products or services face the additional challenge of matching the right product or service based on immediate browsing and search activity along with the historical data for the customer. TigerGraph’s Recommendation Engine on 4th Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors powers purchases with increased click-through results leading to higher average order value and increased per-visit spend for your shoppers.
• The Dell PERC H755N NVMe RAID controller and the new PERC 965i RAID controller with Self-Encrypting Drives (SED) provide additional security for stored data. Whether drives are lost, stolen, or failed, unauthorized access is prevented by rendering the drive unreadable without the encryption key. It also offers additional benefits, including regulatory compliance and secure decommissioning. Both controllers support Local Key Management (LKM) and external key management systems using Secure Enterprise Key Manager (SEKM).

Recommended configurations

* Memory attached to the Gold 5420+ operates at DDR5-4400 memory speeds.
