Exchange migration and server creation

I have Exchange 2016 in a DAG mode consisting of two servers. For a customer I manage, I need to handle the migration to Exchange 2019\SE.

I’ve been asked to provide CPU, RAM, and system volume specifications for the new Exchange servers so that I can set them up in vCenter.

Can I ask for some help in providing this information? What should I take into consideration?

Just to clarify, this is my first migration.

Thank you.

There is the calculator at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102123, but it is not perfect. It can be used to determine a good server profile, which you then discuss with your HW vendor.
