System:

Skype for Business Server 2019

Standard Edition servers

Operating system

Windows Server 2019
Windows Server 2016

Processor Intel Xeon E5-2673 v3 dual processor, 6-core, 2.4 gigahertz (GHz) or higher.
Intel Itanium processors are not supported for Skype for Business Server 2019 roles.
RAM 32GB
Hard disc 8 or more 10000 RPM hard disk drives with at least 72 GB free disk space
(two of the disks using RAID 1 and 6 using RAID 10).
Solid state drives (SSDs) able to provide the same free space and similar performance to 8 10000 RPM mechanical disk drives
Network

1 dual-port network adapter, 1 Gbps or higher (2 network adapters can be used, but they need to be teamed with a single MAC address and a single IP address).
Dual or multi-homed configurations are not supported for Front End Servers, Back End Servers, and Standard Edition servers. As long as they are not exposed to the operating system and are being used to monitor and manage server hardware, you can have out-of-band management systems, such as DRAC or ILO. This scenario doesn't constitute a multi-homed server, and it is supported.

Additional software Depending on the application purpose additional software is required. Please look at the manufactor's Website.

Intel Itanium processors are not supported for Skype for Business Server 2019 roles.
RAM 32GB
Hard disc 4 or more 10000 RPM hard disk drives with at least 72 GB free disk space (the disks should be in a 2x RAID 1 configuration).
Solid state drives (SSDs) able to provide the same free space and similar performance to 4 10000 RPM mechanical disk drives
Network

1 dual-port network adapter, 1 Gbps or higher (2 network adapters can be used, but they need to be teamed with a single MAC address and a single IP address). Dual or multi-homed configurations are not supported for Video Interop Servers and Directors. Edge servers will require two network interfaces that are dual-port network adapters, 1 Gbps or higher (or two paired network adapters, for a total of four, each pair being teamed with a single MAC address and a single IP address, for a total of two pairs). On standalone Mediation Servers, the installation of additional network interface cards (NICs) to allow the configuration of a specific PSTN IP address is supported.
