+System Requirements
+-------------------
+include::attributes.txt[]
+
+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].
