- You must have adequate disk space<!--TODO how much --> to install JDK and &JBEAP; while also allowing enough space for your applications. Before installing &JBEAP; you must have a working installation of Java. Since JBoss is 100% pure Java you can have it working on any Operating System / Platform that supports Java. However there are a few Operating System-specific issues that you must be aware of. Refer to <ulink url="http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossOperatingSystemSpecificIssues"></ulink> for more information.

+ When considering the minimum hardware required to run the JBoss Application Server, it is necessary to consider both the hardware required to successfully install the application and the additional requirements to support an operational server which varies depending on the demand and the types of applications being served.

- Detailed in this section are the minimum hardware requirements in reguards to a server using the <classname>production</classname> configuration shipped with the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
+ The minimum hardware required to support the installation of the JBoss Application Server is a 240MB hard disk drive. Additional space is required for the installation of the JDK upon which the the JBoss Application Server depends. The JDK installation size is currently up to 150MB.

+ Tests were performed to establish the minimum memory requirements based on JMX-Console, which is a small web application packaged with the standard distribution, and a small sub-set of tests from the test suite. These tests simulate small applications deployed on the server. For these tests, the server's configuration was modified via the JAVA_OPTS parameter "-Xms(MEMORY)m -Xmx(MEMORY)m".

- 1GB of disk space. This includes 240MB required for the installation or unpacked distribution and disk space necessary for the server log files.
+ A servers performance must be viewed in light of the applications deployed on the server, the demand placed on the server by client requests and any post-installation server configuration or tuning.
