One quad-core (2.0 GHz or higher) x86 64-bit processor (second quad-
core processor recommended for future capacity expansion).
8GB to 16GB (or more) depending on throughput requirements.
Up to 16 DAS drives (SATA or SAS), either hard disk or solid state disks,
depending on server model and amount of cache.
72 GB minimum for boot drive.
32 GB minimum recommended for additional drives (used for cache only).
NFS (Network File System) supported for handling cache misses.
Dedicated GbE ports for content delivery.
Dedicated 1GbE port. Network ports on the motherboard use lower
performance controllers adequate for a management interface that
typically does not require the full GbE capacity.
