If you are talking about the RAM requirements that will depend on how much the servers are going to be loaded. Different parameters affecting that will be number of expected concurrent users, numbers of documents being accessed concurrently and things like that. I remember having gone through some presentation in which there was even a formula for approximately calculating the RAM requirement. I’ll search and attach it here if i find.
Hope that helps.

it exists some excel sheets which let you able toi calculate with formulas, the amout of ram, hd and processor depending of the number of users toy target and the concurrence access. Sure there are some posts ob BOB about it. Have a search with “sizing” keywords for example

Thanks Salam,

I am new to the server side of things. Not really sure what i am doing.
All help appreciated.
We will have 12 users to connect directly to the application server and 300 to web server.
I do not expect more than 100 concurrent users and report size around 1mb.
