| Memory | 8 Gb | 4Gb | 8Gb |
| Hard disk | System disk - 40 Gb or more Media disk - Use our Storage Disk Space Calculator tool to size your hard disk capacity. Always use redundant disks with RAID and have separate Media and System volumes! On Recording Servers: at least 2 disks with RAID 1 | ||
| Network | 1x Gigabit Ethernet | 1x Gigabit Ethernet plus 1x Gigabit Ethernet port if you use passive recording (if you use a virtual server you need to dedicate a physical port to the virtual server instance - possible with VMware) | |

Please note the followings:
- No other apps on the server - Verba Recording System components should be installed on dedicated servers or virtual server instances, with no other applications being co-hosted on them.
- You can contact Verba for server review - You can contact Verba or your system integrator representative for a review before submitting orders for your server.
- Good backup is essential - A regular (daily) backup procedure of the Verba Recording System server needs to be established to prevent data loss and allow disaster recovery.
