Hardware requirements

The hardware requirements of the IBM Spectrum Control server.

Important: IBM Spectrum Control server can require a large amount of memory, disk space, network bandwidth, and processor resources. To promote consistent availability and performance, install IBM Spectrum Control on a dedicated server where no other critical business applications, including IBM® Copy Services Manager, are installed. IBM Software Support is not responsible for availability, performance, and functional problems that are caused by other business applications that are deployed on the same server as IBM Spectrum Control.

For information about the hardware requirements for IBM Spectrum Control, see Hardware Support: Memory, Processor and Disk Space at IBM Spectrum Control - Hardware Support: Memory, Processor and Disk Space.

For information about the components that can be used with IBM Spectrum Control, see Find the Supported Hardware, Products and Platforms Interoperability Matrix Links at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/388393.
