The following table provides the hardware details on the DCA UAP edition modules.
Notably, now there are five modules to deploy from:
• Greenplum Database compute, four 2RU servers per module
• Greenplum Database standard, four 2RU servers per module
• GPHD, four 2RU servers per module
• GPHD—compute, two 1RU servers per module, and for computation only
