Blue Planet server requirements

The following table lists the Blue Planet server hardware and VM requirements. Requirements are based on two environments: lab development and production. Lab development hosts are typically used for training, testing, and proof of concept tasks. Production hosts are used for enterprise business deployments and operations.

Never use lab development servers in production environments.
