1. depends a lot on what you configure it to do (in the scan profile),
as far as possibilities go it will scan the hosts or networks you tell
it to, then it will check for application or configuration issues
(either remotely, or by logging into the server if you provide OpenVAS
with credentials to do so).
2. Your hardware requirements will vary depending on the type of scan
you are doing, how many targets, how many hosts and checks you allow to
be done simultaneously, what reports are to be generated, ....
My best advice would be to set up the scan you want to do, grab a subset
of IPs (something like 30-50), run the scan, fiddle with the settings
and see where your bottleneck is, then just scale up from there. For us
it's the CPU most of the time.
3. I've never tried running a OpenVAS server on windows, might work if
you manage to get it compiled. You can have all processes on the same
server.
4. yes, works pretty good too. Scanners also don't require GSA to be
installed or running.
Hope that helped.

Hi,
What kind of scanning does OpenVAS support like host scanning, network
scanning, application scanning because I am not finding any pages
which describes the support for type of targets it scans.
2. There are no sizing requirements mentioned like memory
requirements, Operating system, Hardware, Disk space, etc, Please
suggest some best practice, I am looking for an enterprise deployment
3. Do we need to have separate systems on which the scanner, manager
and GSA are installed ? I am good at Windows so can all the components
be installedon windows platform
4. Can a single manager control multiple scanners.
Regards
Ritesh
