Monitoring Splunk

What sort of hardware should I use for my splunk install?

I will have 100GB coming in per day, with an expectation of 20 concurrent users at any given time, with probably around 10 overlapping searches. 80% of my searches will be over recent time and quite simple, but some will be over a longer time range and much more complex.

What sort of guidelines can you provide for starting to size my installation?

We do recommend collaborating with the Splunk sales team for larger deployments.
