[ubuntu-cloud] Hardware recommendations for UEC

[Ziv Leyes]

Hi Ahmad,
Thanks for your answer.
I know the general prerequisites and hardware requirements from the
links you've mentioned.
Given the fact I'm limited to use ONLY IBM servers, I was hoping to a more
specific answer about a certain IBM recommended server model, perhaps based
on self experience of some people in the community.
The servers have a lot of variants, such as how much RAM, which exact CPU
model, hardisk type of controllers (SCSI, SAS), etc.
Also, if I want to run a few virtual servers, how many NIC do I need to
have? I know I might need more than one because not all the machines are
connected to the same network domains.
Thanks,
Ziv
