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?
