saw on the web, OpenNMS can manage an unlimited number of nodes, but is any kind of algorithm based on the CPU
speed, the amount of RAM, the polling time, etc… to calculate the specifications of the server?, I mean
i.e. 1GB of RAM + 1Ghz of CPU per every 1.000 nodes.

The usual bottleneck is writing the collected data to disk for the
graph history, so the requirements will depend more on the number of
interfaces and amount of data you collect than the number of nodes and
more on the disk subsystem and tuning than CPU.
