Hi Cara
We run our IdP as a virtual machine - because we have loads of virtual servers and VMware infrastructure already, plus you can do snapshots of it before making changes (in case they don't work).
Ours has 2gb of RAM and 2 virtual CPUs (average 100 logins a day ish, last time I looked) - as Shibboleth is written in Java, it's quite resource hungry in that sense.
It only has 10gb disk space which is fine for Linux (we use Suse Enterprise, because the college has a support contract for it) and the software.
Hope that helps.
Dave

To: David Perry; Discussion list for Shibboleth developments
Subject: Shibboleth implementation
We are hoping to move to Shobboleth in the not-too-distant future.
Would anyone be able to give me a basic idea of the hardware implications of Shibboleth implementation? I'm thinking in terms of server requirements, cost etc.
Any general ideas would be very gratefully received, thanks.
Cara.
