-System requirements
--------------------
-
-For production servers, high quality server equipment is needed. Keep
-in mind, if you run 10 Virtual Servers on one machine and you then
-experience a hardware failure, 10 services are lost. {pve}
-supports clustering, this means that multiple {pve} installations
-can be centrally managed thanks to the included cluster functionality.
-
-{pve} can use local storage (DAS), SAN, NAS and also distributed
-storage (Ceph RBD). For details see xref:chapter-storage[chapter storage].
-
-Minimum requirements, for evaluation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64)
-
-* Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard for KVM Full Virtualization support
-
-* RAM: 1 GB RAM, plus additional RAM used for guests
-
-* Hard drive
-
-* One NIC
-
-Recommended system requirements
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-* CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64), Multi core CPU recommended
-
-* Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard for KVM Full Virtualization support
-
-* RAM: 8 GB RAM, plus additional RAM used for guests
-
-* Hardware RAID with batteries protected write cache (``BBU'') or flash
- based protection
-
-* Fast hard drives, best results with 15k rpm SAS, Raid10
-
-* At least two NICs, depending on the used storage technology you need more
