Version 10.0 of SME Server supports a wide variety of hardware, you can look for compatibility before deployment.
We expect that all hardware which is marked as "Certified" or "Compatible" for RedHat Enterprise Linux Update 6 on the RedHat Hardware Compatibility web site, located at: Certified Hardware - Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog, will function correctly with SME Server 10.0. We do not recommend the use of server hardware which is not listed as "Certified" or "Compatible".
