What resources have you found so far, so nobody wastes your time by telling you things you already know?

Hi
I think a lot depends on the way in which you are going to use the Moodle.
If users are asynchronous, with no deadlines and no common usage profile, they'll be logging in and doing activities at random, and the server load will balance over time. In this can, it will be relatively easy to specify a server.
However, if 2000 users all try to submit an assignment in the 15 minutes before deadline, or everyone has to do the same activity at the same time, then the server is either going to to struggle, or be overkill for the remainder of the quiet time.
You may be better off with a VPS where you can scale resources without having to build a new server each time.
Unfortunately, this gives you a way to think about the issue, but not specific server specifications, sorry.
Regards
Brendon

Please go through the very similar discussions in the Hardware and performance forum https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=596. Also carefully study the documentations linked to its header.
