You, as a user, see the HPC Cloud as a virtualising environment where you can build your own cluster (IaaS paradigm). We describe here the hardware specifications of the physical environment. In principle you should not worry about these as an end-user, because you do not have direct contact with the hardware.
Up to 80 cores with 480 GB RAM.
x 3 redundancy to prevent data loss caused by hardware failure, on 10 Gbit network per storage node
An up to date hardware specification is available in a cloud documentation page.
