Q:

Mongodb server specs

May i ask what is the best server specs for mongodb?
With initial request of 5k - 10k read / writes.
I don't have any idea with this please help me.
Thanks In Advance!

A:

A normal configuration desktop should be able to handle this requirement.  But may not be recommended for the production deployment.
But 10Gen, the mongodb company recommends $7K - $10K range boxes for optimal performance (in their free course offered a month ago).  You can watch 9th video of playlist 7 about MongoDB DBA Tutorials or Hardware Requirements.  
Again it varies based on different facts and you can take some tips from these videos to move forward.
