The following minimum hardware requirements are provided by Microsoft for Windows Server 2008R2 with IIS 7.5.
- Minimum 1 GHz (for x86 processors) or 1.4 GHz (for x64 processors). 2GHz or more recommended for improved performance.
-
Minimum 1 GB of RAM for 32-bit Working Papers or 2 GB of RAM for 64-bit Working Papers; 4 GB and 8 GB respectively are recommended for improved performance, with an additional 1 GB for every 100 users and 5000 files.
Note: Computers with more than 16 GB of RAM require more disk space for paging, hibernation, and dump files.
-
Minimum 10 GB hard disk space. 40 GB or higher recommended for improved performance.
