Hi Hari shankar, First of all i would like to clear that the system requirement depends upon no. of customers you are catering.
Currently I am using 8.1 on VM with 1) CPU with Processing speed 2.8GHz and it is working fine. 2) RAM: I have 8GB of RAM. If you are not planning to install ITSM then 8GB of RAM is sufficient. It is working fine. 3) You can choose Java 1.7 it will be good. minimum requirement is Java 1.6. Tomcat 7 will be better and it gives very good performance. Or you can go ahead with the tomcat which comes with AR System Installable. 4) I am using Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition(64-bit) Service pack 2 it is stable and works well. 5) The HDD size depends upon how much your DB size will grow (i guess you are going to install Database on the same VM). I think 250GB will be more than enough. 6) SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition(64-bit) is also good but I don`t have much idea about this. I am using Oracle 11gR2 64 bit database. I think you can go ahead with the system which you have mentioned. It will definitely give you good performance. Thanks, -Rajkumar Padole.

I guess that on the same VM you'll also have a mid-tier and the database? Will you install the web services Atrium Core and a Tomcat for it? CPU: 4 core indeed, 2 would be the limit. Processing speed: I would say it doesn't matter that much. If it's a poc the CPU processing speed isn't really a problem. I got a laptop which is an octocore 2.30 Ghz but which is overall more powerfull / faster that most of my customers dev / staging environment. RAM: seems a bit high if you have only ARS+CMDB+Integrator. I made a 8.1 VM with 12 GB ram but with all the stack (ARS, CMDB, ITSM, SRM, SLM, Integrator server, Openfire, tomcat for mid-tier, tomcat for Atrium Core webservices, sql server) and right now after one day use I'm using 9 GB with several Firefox and Chrome opened, developer studio and Data Import Tool on the VM. I guess in your case you could go to 10 if you don't install the Tomcat for the Atrium Webservices. Or even 8 GB but I wouldn't be that comfortable here. Right now with web browsers closed and dev studio / data import closed I'm using 7.74 GB RAM (so with all stack and Tomcat for Atrium WS using nearly 500 MB). HDD: It seems a lot. I'm using 66 GB used right now but once again, I have all the stack, online help, Analytics and BO XI 4, Dashboards and so on. My advice is to limit the SQL Server memory setting at 4 GB. I would go for Java 1.7 x64 and Tomcat 7 x64 (or use the Tomcat from installer). As for OS, are those the 2008 or 2008 R2 versions? I always work with R2 and they work fine (with latest SP on both). Then more importantly it depends what you want to do with this POC VM. Just a demo "here is what is the CMDB" or big reconciliations, a lot of data, interfaces and so on? Anwyay, a POC is there to show off to customers most of the time. So if you can take a cool hardware rig with 12 GB RAM, a very fast HDD (or SSD) and 4 CPU, do it.

Also, please confirm if this ok to start the installation.
