Since you mentioned defragging... I just wanted to pass along a tip regarding defragging disks (at least in Windows). I schedule all the Remedy servers and my desktop computer to defrag each night. It's free, keeps the drives defragged, and doesn't interfere with normal operations. I have a batch file that contains commands such as these: defrag c: > c:\defragrpt.txt defrag e: >> c:\defragrpt.txt In Windows Scheduled Tasks I added a job that runs every night (outside of backup times) and creates a small report of before and after fragmentation percentages.

I would budget about 50 GB for all those backups and about the same for all the files that you would be downloading to install various products plus patches.. Allocate at least 4 GB for your ARS Database and about the same size of a tempdb / temp space.. Defrag your drive after all your installs for a good measure.. About your processor I don't really have that much of hardware expertise but 2 processors of 3 GHz sounds pretty good.

My first idea was for 2 GB RAM, but it sounds like 4GB would probably be better overall. For disk space, would 250GB be about right? What about the processor(s) - a couple of 3.0 GHz?

Especially if you are using it for development and testing.. if it were being used to demo the application by sales 2 GB would have been just about right..

I went through some old list emails but couldn't find quite what I needed. It would be used for testing out version 7 and would have ARS, ITSM, CMDB, mid-tier, and database all on the one machine. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks!
