Base Server Requirements for Large Operations

This section provides the base server requirements for large operations.

Base File Server

The following requirements are needed on the base file server for large operations:

Table 1. Base File Server Specifications
Recommended Specification	Optimal Specification
Two (2) Processor Cores, Intel Xeon Processor E5 v3 (Haswell) Family or newer, 2.1 GHz or greater base frequency	Two (2) Processor Cores, Intel Xeon Processor E5 v3 (Haswell) Family or newer, 2.1 GHz or greater base frequency
8 GB RAM memory; <1 TB of disk usage for file shares	16 GB RAM memory; >1 TB of disk usage for file shares
Three (3) 300 GB 15K SAS hard disk drives, configured in RAID5 array*	Four (4) 300 GB 15K SAS hard disk drives, configured in RAID5 array with hot spare*
SAS disk controller (RAID 0/1/5/10 compliant, 1 GB battery backed cache)	SAS disk controller (RAID 0/1/5/10 compliant, 1 GB battery backed cache)
Monitor (17” LCD/LED or larger)	Monitor (19” LCD/LED or larger)
1 Gbps Ethernet interface	1 Gbps Ethernet interface
