I am working for a company interested in using Koha. I am trying to find information on server specs for them. I know this depends on collection size, patrons, etc. Is there a place where I can find some guidelines for server size/configuration? Thanks, Joy

Search the discussion archive and the wiki for some examples. I suspect other Koha hosting companies are similar to us and use servers that we can expand as needed, so our usual answer is "it depends" which isn't very helpful to you.

Gear changes pretty quickly so specifics are going to be incorrect as fast. Koha isn't very demanding in terms of CPU or disk but there is a database and a search service and so having a good amount of memory is always nice. I'm assuming that for a company library you won't be seeing a lot of traffic so the main interest is for it to perform nicely under low load. Without getting too precise, it can work well on pretty low end gear but more can be better. If you're buying new then midrange or budget conscious is probably safe. -reed
