Hi Simon,
The hardware requirements/recommendations can be found in the forum on

What sort of hardware does DSpace require? What about sizing the
server? How much disk space do I need?
There are no specific server requirements for DSpace except UNIX.
(Because the application is written in Java, in theory it will run on
other platforms as well.) DSpace is built on top of free, open-source
tools, such as the Apache Web server, the Tomcat Servlet engine, and
the postgreSQL relational database system. For your convenience, we
package the necessary JDBC and other drivers and libraries together
with DSpace. This set of tools should run on any UNIX-type OS, such as
Linux, HP/UX, or Solaris, and you can substitute other libraries if
you need to run on another platform. The system runs on anything from
a laptop to a $500K server, but there are a few general
recommendations for hardware architectures. For a research university,
DSpace requires a reasonably good server (see below) and a decent
amount of memory and disk storage. Some examples from the community
(not necessarily endorsements): HP Server rx2600, powered by dual 64-
bit Intel Itanium 2 processors (900MHz), 2GB RAM, 26 GB internal disk
storage. HP StorageWorks Modular SAN Array 1000 (msa1000) with a
single high-performance controller. Options include a second
controller and, with the addition of two more drive enclosures,
controls up to 42 Ultra2, Ultra 3, or Ultra320 SCSI drives. Total
capacity can be six terabytes. Cost starts around $40K and goes up to
around $1.8M. SunFire 280R Server, two 900MHz UltraSPARC-III Cu
processors, 8MB E-cache, 2GB memory, two 36GB 10,000rpm HH internal
FCAL disk drives, DVD, 436-GB, or 12 x 26.4 Gbyte 10K RPM disks, Sun
StorEdge A1000 rackmountable w/ 1 HW RAID controller, 24MB std cache.
Around $30K. Dell PowerEdge 2650 with dual Xeon processors (2.4GHz),
2GB RAM, 2x73GB scsi disks. One 2.5TB Apple XServe. A DLT tape library
to back up the DB/jsps etc. Around $10K. Of course, your mileage (and
costs) will vary depending on what you plan to do with the system.
Also if anyone wants to augment or add to the answer posted, they can
do so in the forum.
best, Michele

?Hello,
I'm looking for some information, but I could not find them in the
Documention and on the Web-Side.
- What is the minimum Hardware Requirement for running DSpace
- What is the maximum Data, DSpace can handle (data volume, number of
files, number of users). Is there any limit.
I'm working with Version 1.5
Perhaps, someone can help me.
Thanks.
Regards Simon R?tzler
