What are the hardware requirements (disk space, CPU speed, memory) for an SRB Server host?
The hard disk size depends upon how much storage you want to broker. The SRB software system itself requires only about 200 MBytes of storage. For MCAT-enabled servers, the DBMS will require additional space; on Linux, for example, the SRB with Postgres and ODBC take about 700 MB. We normally recommend 1 to 6 TBytes, depending on the usage. We have specs for a system called the SRB Brick which costs around $15K for 6 TBytes (January, 2005). As for CPU speeds, any Linux system with more than 1.5 GHz should be fine. Memory of 1/2 GB or 1 GB will be sufficient.
