Hardware Specifications

Is there any documented

hardware specification for Analysis Services 2005/2000? This is one question asked frequently to me by people implementing AS 2005. I could not find any documents on this. It would be great if any recommendations are available on this.

Thanks,

S Suresh

Such information is often provided by hardware vendors.

For instance;
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/software/microsoft/sqlserver2005.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN
www.dell.com/sql

You can also take a look at the existing case studies like Project REAL http://www.microsoft.com/sql/solutions/bi/projectreal.mspx
see what are the data sizes and what hardware used.
