server can be virtual or physical and has the following recommended specifications:
Refer to the vCenter Chargeback Manager Installation and Upgrade Guide for more details.
vCenter Chargeback Manager servers can be clustered together to provide improved performance and
availability for the web interface. A cluster configuration leverages the Apache load balancer, which is bundled
with the vCenter Chargeback Manager software. The built-in load balancer can be installed on any vCenter
Chargeback Manager server instance, but cannot be replaced by a third-party load balancer. All instances in a
cluster must run the same version of vCenter Chargeback Manager.
