What are the minimum hardware requirements to run BigBlueButton?
As a minimum, we recommend you run BigBlueButton on a dual-core machine with at least 2 GB of memory and a 2.0+ Ghz processor. You’ll need good upstream and downstream bandwidth from the server. We recommend installing Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit/64-bit on the server (see Installing BigBlueButton). While the BigBlueButton VM is a good way to try out the system, we recommend you run BigBlueButton on a dedicated server to reduce audio lag. In a virtual environment, the BigBlueButton VM gets only a portion of the host’s CPU, and any lag in the CPU cycles can translate to lag in processing VoIP packets.
