This article describes the requirements for machines, storage, and networking for building solutions of Azure Local that use lower capacity hardware. If you purchase class *small* hardware from the [Azure Local Catalog](https://aka.ms/azurelocalcatalog), ensure that these requirements are met before you deploy the Azure Local solutions.

Azure Local supports a new class of devices with reduced hardware requirements. This new, low-cost hardware class referenced as *lower capacity* is suited for various edge scenarios across the industry horizontals. To ensure compatibility, interoperability, security, and reliability, this class of hardware must meet Azure Local solution requirements.
