MT5 server hardware requirements: size the workload, not the brand name.
There is no universal MT5 server specification that fits every brokerage. Capacity depends on concurrency, symbols, history, integrations, reporting, regions and workload isolation. Hardware should be selected from measured operational assumptions.
CPU and memory
Plan for sustained headroom rather than peak benchmark figures. Concurrent activity, integration services and operating-system overhead all affect real capacity.
Storage
Low and predictable storage latency matters for database-heavy workloads. Capacity planning should include growth, logs, backups, retention and recovery procedures.
Network and regions
Network quality, peering and client geography can matter as much as raw hardware. Access-server topology should be evaluated together with the core environment.
