Goal

The Hardware recommendations from "Oracle® Communications EAGLE Element Management System Upgrade/Install Guide Release 46.0 E54392 Revision 2" are not exactly clear for choosing appropriate hardware for server:
-----------------------
1.2 E5-MS SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
1.2.1 Operating System

• Release 46.0.1 of E5-MS requires a Linux 64-bit operating system, such as Oracle Linux 6.4 or CentOS

6.2.
Release 46.0.1 of E5-MS has been tested on following platform and OS -

• An HP server running 64-bit CentOS 6.2 version
• A SUN server (Netra Server X3-2) running 64-bit Oracle Linux 6.4 version.
• Java 7 should be installed on the system for running E5-MS.
• The partition where E5MS will be installed should have 500GB of space.
• The number of open files limit (ulimit -n) should be configured to 65536.

-----------------------
Please, give us exact recommendation for hardware (processor+cache; RAM; maybe additional necessary requirements for some interface buses, etc.) to be able to serve all necessary E5-MS applications without delays.

Solution

Processor:

Two processors from the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family i.e. (10M Cache, 1.80 GHz)
Intel 2603 is matching the 10 MB cache requirement so it should be ok.

RAM:

For RAM; the more the better. Sixteen DIMM slots provide up to 256 GB of DDR3 registered (RDIMM) memory
LV RDIMM options: 8 GB at up to 1,600 MHz, 16 GB at up to 1,600 MHz, 32 GB at up to 1,600 MHz
Systems have been running on 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB configs. You need to decide which is optimal with the processor you select and the OS requirements for RAM as well.
32GB RAM should be fine.

Hard Drive:

A Raid configuration is always preferred over single hard drive configuration. 500GB disk space should be enough.

Connection Speed:

The more the better. At 2.4 Mbps; the backup transfer will take approximately 3.5 hours.
A 4 Mbps connection should be enough. However; the main requirement is that the network speed should be stable so that data replication remains smooth.

About speed; 2.4 Mbps transfer speed without any network lag will be enough.

A sample configuration based upon above requirements:

3.5" Chassis with up to 8 Hard Drives

2xIntel Xeon E5-2620v3 2.40GHz (15M Cache, 8.0GT/s QPI, Turbo, 6C 85W)
48GB (6x 8GB RDIMM, 2133 MHz, Dual Rank) RAM
4x500GB 7.2K RPM SATA 3.5in Hot-plug Hard Drive
PERC H730 Integrated RAID Controller, 1GB NV Cache
4x 1Gbit/s Ethernet (On-Board LOM 1GBE)
iDRAC8 Express
2x Hot-plug Power Supply (1+1), 750W
