Description
Specify the hardware that will be used to operate the CNs. This equipment should support virtual machines, and ideally should support at least two instances of the CN software stack (deployed and testing / development). Hardware should have high availability properties (redundancy). Specifications should include network, power supply (e.g. UPS) and any other components required for deployment of the CN servers
