# Prepare hardware

## R**ecommended CPU specifications**

The hardware specifications vary depending on the number of miners managed, ranging from a Raspberry Pi for smaller setups to enterprise-grade servers for larger operations.

## S**oftware Requirements**

* **Operating System:** Ubuntu preferred 24.04 LTS or higher.
* **Connectivity:** Stable network connection with access to remote miners.

Our monitoring platform's architecture allows for the distribution of tasks across multiple smaller servers rather than relying on a single powerful server. This not only facilitates easier and more scalable deployment but also provides flexibility in managing workloads.

A MoonOne agent is deployed on each server to manage miners based on the configuration.

* **Single Computer per Mining Container**: Suitable for smaller operations, where each agent can handle roughly 500 miners per container.
* **Shared Computer for Multiple Containers**: For more extensive networks, a single agent manages several thousand miners across multiple containers.
* **Enterprise Server for Entire Site**: In large-scale environments, a robust enterprise server with one MoonOne agent can manage over 10,000 miners, ensuring efficient and streamlined operations.

This scalable and flexible architecture is designed to accommodate various operational needs and technology environments.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.moonone.online/getting-started/prepare_hardware.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
