Hardware Requirements

Hardware Requirements
On all platforms, you will need:
• Roughly 200 MB of disk space for a minimal installation. For production
systems, you should plan at least 2GB to support the product binaries,
databases, and log files (log files require 1 GB by default); 4GB and greater may
be required for very large directories.
• 256 MB of RAM. However, you should plan from 256 MB to 1 GB of RAM for
best performance on large production systems.
The table below contains some guidelines for disk space and memory requirements
depending on the number of entries managed by your Directory Server. This
assumes entries in the LDIF file are approximately 100 bytes in size and only the
recommended indexes are configured. If you are using larger entries, make sure
that at least four times the size of the LDIF file is available on disk.
Number of Entries
10,000 - 250,000 entries
250,000 - 1,000,000 entries
Over 1,000,000 entries
