What is the hardware requirement for ERP?
Being a high end, mission critical application that should scale exceptionally well to address the needs of corporate giants (with even 100 Billion USD annual business), ERP software today are the most demanding software pieces in terms of hardware requirements. Typical RAM sizes would be at least 1GB and several GB of RAM would be needed for larger installations. The disk size requirements would be equally very large often running into several dozens of GB – typically about 100 GB of disk space is needed by ERP software. The mission-critical nature of the application demands several log files to be maintained forcing larger disk sizes. Once again the large disks must be high-speed & “highly available” by way of redundancy measures such as RAID.
