Selecting Splunk hardware options

If you plan to implement and support your Splunk infrastructure internally (versus leveraging Splunk Cloud, wherein Splunk provides and manages the needed infrastructure for you), you will be building your solution on your own hardware platforms (physical or virtual servers), or on cloud-based instances (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and so on). For non-cloud environments, your organization will likely have a preferred hardware vendor that provides support options, so you will be selecting servers within the needed range of CPU, memory, and disk storage options from your vendor's offerings; cloud providers similarly offer a variety of sizing options.
