- Redis uses a relatively large number of buffers, which enable replica communication, client communication, pub/sub commands, and more. As a result, you should ensure that 30% of the RAM is available on each node at any given time.

- If no databases on the cluster have [persistence]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/plan-deployment/persistent-ephemeral-storage" >}}) enabled, minimum persistent storage is RAM x 1.1 and the recommended persistent storage is RAM x 2. Persistent storage is essential because Redis Enterprise also uses it to maintain the cluster and database health, configurations, recovery procedures, and more.
