SCVMM 2008R2 Hardware Requirements
The minimum and recommended hardware requirements for the VMM server depend on the number of hosts that you manage and whether you use the same computer for the VMM server, the VMM database, and as a library server.
The minimum and recommended hardware requirements to install and operate all VMM components on a single computer are listed in the following tables based on the number of hosts that you manage.
From 5 to 10 hosts

For better performance, when you are managing more than 150 hosts, it is recommended that you use a dedicated computer for the VMM server and do the following:
· Add one or more remote computers as library servers and do not use the default library share on the VMM server.
· Use a remote, full version of SQL Server for the VMM database.
