Hardware Requirements?

[Avindale]

Hello,

First off, let me start with an apology if this is not the proper location for this question, and if there is a topic already covering my question as well, but I cannot seem to find the answer I am looking for by searching and would like to know if there is any hardware requirements for Revive Adserver?

 I am trying to find out if there is a Minimum and Recommended requirement for the server beyond the software requirements found here ->https://www.revive-adserver.com/support/requirements/

Any assistance anyone can provide will be great, even if it is pointing me in the right direction to do the research myself. I just want to ensure I choose a server  that can handle both Revive Adserver and my site itself.

Thank you,

Avindale

Hi @Avindale,

No, unfortunately, there isn't - it's so hard to recommend a specific level of hardware, because the possibilities for configuration are huge (O/S, webserver, database, opcode cache, all manner of Revive Adserver configuration options), and what people want to do with Revive vary as well (something to manage ads for their hobby site all the way up to commercial operations serving billions of impressions a month... maybe even a week or per day).

My recommendation would be that if you're starting out, and you're not sure of hardware scale - don't buy any hardware! Get a VM from provider that will let you scale up (or down) as per your requirements - you can always migrate to dedicated physical hardware later on, if that's your desire, once you have an idea from using a cloud-VM first.

Hi @andrewatfornax ,

Thanks for the information, I thought this was the case, I just wanted to be sure as I progress and Didn't know if I should invest in hardware first or test with a VM.  Very helpful!
