SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server deployments:
The disk I/O performance of any server-class system should be sufficient. Memory requirements are highly dependent on the product mix and usage, but 8 GB of RAM are sufficient for most large deployments. For many deployments, 4 GB of RAM are sufficient and should be considered a minimum, unless the specific deployment is tested and verified to require less memory.
* If your SAS Metadata Server is on z/OS 64-bit, please note the following memory requirements:
On some AIX systems, if the proper GNU C Compiler run-time library (libgcc) is not available, the SAS IT Resource Management 3.6 Mid-Tier SAS Deployment Wizard configuration step can fail. For more information, refer to SAS Note 51737, available at http://support.sas.com/kb/51/737.html.

Note: These servers cannot be installed on the z/OS or 32-bit Windows platforms.
