Sizing Guidance

[edit]
Hardware Recommendations
Resource    Processor    Memory    Hard Drive    NICs    Notes
Minimum    Intel/AMD-compatible Processor (800+ Mhz)    512 MB    20 GB    2   
1-50 Users    Pentium 4 equivalent or greater    1 GB    80 GB    2 or more   
51-150 Users    Dual Core    2 GB    80 GB    2 or more   
151-500 Users    2 or more Cores    2 or more GB    80 GB    2 or more   
501-1500 Users    4 Cores    4 GB    80 GB    2 or more    64-bit
1501-5000 Users    4 or more Cores    4 or more GB    80 GB    2 or more    64-bit

Why is a 20gb, let alone an 80gb, drive necessary for a UTM? Does it log the f**k outta everything?
