* The listed RAM is only a minimum requirement.
Depending on the amount of E-Mails, it is recommended to increase the RAM with another 2 GB / 2048 MB.
This is recommended, when for example the REDDOXX Appliance has to process many and / or huge E-Mails in a short time.

Following prerequisites need to be observed prior to the implementation of a new virtual appliance.
In case that the virtual appliance is setup as a secondary node in a cluster, you should read the cluster documentation first.
The documentation can be found here: Cluster Requirements.
