Rob,

Our production Grouper daemon VM is the following:

(4) Intel E5-2650 2.3GHz
4GB RAM
40GB disk for Grouper files

We run the daemon with a 1.5GB Java heap size.  The loader jobs are 
multi-threaded, so it's good to have multiple cores available.


Our UI and WS servers (2 for redundancy) are VMs:

(2) Intel E5-2650 2.3GHz
4GB RAM
40GB disk for Grouper files

We run the UI and WS in a single Tomcat instance with a 2GB Java heap 
size.


Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.

Thanks,
