Compute nodes
-------------

Your virtual machines are hosted on the compute nodes; therefore,
you must allocate enough resources to run these virtual machines.

Each compute node must include:

+---------------+----------------------------------+
| CPU           | Dual-socket CPU with a minimum   |
|               | of 4 cores per socket            |
+---------------+----------------------------------+
| RAM           | 64 GB                            |
+---------------+----------------------------------+
| Storage       | Hardware RAID 1 controller with  |
|               | at least 500 GB capacity for     |
|               | the host operating system disk   |
+---------------+----------------------------------+
| Network       | * For testing: 2 x 1 Gbit/s NICs |
|               | * For production: 2 x 10 Gbit/s  |
|               |   NICs                           |
