*RAM and File System Mount Specifications: For production systems, please consult PITSS or Oracle on sizing recommendations. The amount of RAM, HDD Space for SWAP and Software Mounts will vary depending on end-user usage and application characteristics. If you will be running reports heavily, use at least 20GB of SWAP.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
