Hello All,
Can anyone please let me know

1. What is the hardware and software requirement for postgressql to be
installed in production. We are planning to use postgres for hadoop
backend, to store user access info, metadata etc. So, it will not be high
transaction db, but we might see lost of reads to this db.

2. Can we use Vm's to run the Db? Is it recommended ?

Thanks in Advance!

Your question makes little sense without any details about the data
and the application architecture.
Please elaborate more.
You'd elaborate more on these points in order to get some meaningful advise.

2. Can we use Vm's to run the Db? Is it recommended ?

There's nothing against virtualization apart the computing and I/O
limits it can pose.
In general, real hardware can provide for better performances.

Thanks in Advance!

It sound a only a little bit more what I have a s /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow,
/etc/groups and /etc/gshadow replacement...

I have exactly this too and it rund quiert well on a MiniITX with 1000MHz
and 1 GByte of memory which is 60% unused. The Debian GNU/Linux 7.11
installation together with the postgresql database using less then
5 GByte... Lets say, the whole thing would run an a 20 GByte HDD.

I manage currently 23.000 users with it...

And no, I do not use LDAP.

My webservices authenticate directly with the database server which is
hostet at a friendly ISP in Estonia.

2. Can we use Vm's to run the Db? Is it recommended ?

Yes of course.

Thanks in Advance!
