[Koha] Suggestions of hardware

[Mark Tompsett]

Greetings,

You don't necessarily need to pay for your own machine to virtualize. You 
could use a hosting service such as digitalocean.
https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/

With your number of records, the bigger question (in my mind) is not how 
many records/items you have now, but how much will you be expanding. For our 
production system, we use the $20/month plan.

Koha is developed under Debian, and as such, using Debian is the recommended 
OS. Though, you are free to choose with relative-ease other Linux operating 
systems based on Debian, such as Ubuntu. We use Ubuntu. You are also free to 
try to attempt other Linux versions, but your mileage and support by others 
will drastically vary.

I recommend at least 1GB RAM and at least 30GB drive space. Though, this is 
a minimum in my mind.

GPML,
Mark Tompsett

Hello

I need your suggestions of hardware to implement a koha server, with the
following requirements:

records: 47,000
items: 157,000
users: 3,000
libraries: 12

For the server I count on vmware virtualization,

That operating system ubuntu or debian recommend?
How many processors and RAM are needed?

and if the number of records and items I recommend mysql on a dedicated
server.


Thank you very much.

-Carlos
