We recommend a late model dual quad cpu, 4 - 8g ram, 1-4gbs nic, 64bit OS and 64 bit Java JDK. For heavy vod, we recommend a RAID 0 or RAID 1+0 disk array (SSD) with as many disk as neccessary. Bandwidth is the usual limiting factor. A 1gbs nic will handle 1000 users streaming 800kbs or less. I recommend at least 2gbs nic for plenty capacity. There is a load testing tool to help you measure server and network capacity: [https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-flash-rtmp-load-test-tool](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-get-flash-rtmp-load-test-tool) Richard
