<title>Recommended Hardware Minimums for an Entry-scale ESX, KVM with Dedicated Cluster for Metering, Monitoring, and Logging</title>
<para>
These recommended minimums are based on example configurations included with
the installation models (see <xref linkend="example-configurations"/>). They
are suitable only for demo environments. For production systems you will want
to consider your capacity and performance requirements when making decisions
about your hardware.
