Construct a Hardware Platform
Constructing a hardware platform for your Vertica database involves a number of decisions.
Contact 
Technical Support for assistance in this area. By analyzing your schema and samples of your data and queries, Vertica can recommend hardware configuration options. If you have already constructed a platform, Technical Support will make sure that your platform meets all requirements and is configured correctly.

K represents the maximum number of nodes in a database that can fail and recover with no loss of data. In Vertica V2.1, the value of K can be zero (0) or one (1). The value of K can be one (1) only when the Physical Schema design meets certain requirements. The designs generated by the Database Designer are K-Safe.
A physical schema consists of a set of projections used to store data on disk. The projections in the physical schema are based on the objects in the Logical Schema.
A host is a computer system with a 32-bit or 64-bit Intel or AMD processor, RAM, hard disk, and TCP/IP network interface (IP address and hostname). Hosts share neither disk space nor main memory with each other.
A cluster generally refers a collection of hosts or a collection of nodes bound to a database. A cluster is not part of a database definition and thus does not have a name.
