Please see system requirements for a single Zimbra server installation and for a multiple Zimbra server installation. For a basic system, Agileware recommends minimum of 8GB RAM (ideal 16GB RAM), Intel x64 3GHz+ CPU, 2x300GB+ fast hard disks (SCSI, SSD, SAS 10K RPM) in a RAID configuration of RAID0, RAID1 or RAID10. RAID5 is not recommended due to poor write performance. When choosing disks for your server please read this section on Zimbra disk recommendations. Hardware requirements will increase based on load, type of usage and other software running on the system. We recommend software or hardware RAID for email systems and a daily backup regime.
