It's supporting a php application running on the same node. Mostly this instance runs smoothly but runs low on memory. Depending on how m= uch the site is used, the VM will swap out sometimes excessively. I realize this setup may not be enough to support a cassandra instance. I was wondering if there were any "recommended hardware specs" someone could= point me to for both physical and virtual (cloud) type environments. Thank you, Tim Sent from my iPhone=
