Hardware Requirements
---------------------

A typical |product_name| installation recommended for production consists of a single management node and at least four nodes for storage and compute. The following table lists the *minimal* hardware requirements for the management node and storage/compute nodes. The recommended configurations are provided in the *Installation Guide*.
