In this demonstration, Windows Server 2012 R2 standard edition will be installed to a virtual machine running on vSphere. The amount of RAM and disk space you require will ultimately be determined by what you are planning to use the server for. Usually anywhere from 50-100 Gigabytes of free space is enough for basic Windows Server installs. For any production system you should have 1 Gigabyte or 2 Gigabytes of RAM at a minimum and more free hard space. This will be enough to install Windows Server, however this is the bare minimum. In order to install Windows Server 2012, you require a 1.4Ghz 64bit CPU (32bit CPU's are not supported) 512Megabytes of RAM, and 32Gigabyes of free space.
