The proxy server in the Swift cluster will forward the client's request and send back the responses across the storage nodes, which might increase the CPU utilization.
Storage nodes will perform intensive disk I/O operations, while providing more CPUs is highly recommended with regards to the Swift process handler for the replication and auditing of data.
Thus, with more drives per node, more CPUs are needed. Assuming the using a CPU of 2 GHz processors with a ratio of cores GHz to drives of 3:4, we can calculate the number of cores that we will need, as follows:
(30 drives * 3/4)/2 GHz = 11.25 cores
