We recommend the following guidelines that are highly dependent on the specs of your application.

**CPU:**

- 5-20 concurrent users, or less users but with website: 4 CPU’s
- 20-50 of intensive use: 8 CPU’s. For applications with ERP this is the recommended minimum
- .\>50: consider whether 2-server-setup might be more suitable

**Memory:**

- Practically empty database (customer without conversion): 3 GB
- \< 3 GB database: 4 GB
- 3-8 GB database: 6 GB
- .\>8 GB database: 8 GB (further expansion may be needed depending on how intensively all data are used). For applications with ERP this is the recommended minimum

**Disk space:**

- Space for the OS is included. The purchased space is for the data disk.
- Required space = database size x factor + file size + 5 GB, rounded up to the nearest multiple of 50 GB.
- If you want to keep the backup longer than the same workday during an update, the ‘factor’ is 3; otherwise, it is 2.
