In past we had xymon running on VMware with 4vcpu/4GB memory and we were monitoring close to ~500 servers, now you can judge it.

I am looking at deploying Xymon, through the Google Cloud Compute service, I sadly have no space for a physical server and was wondering if can Zymon can run on an low amount of ram and CPU.
It really depends upon what you're doing with it. (How many servers, how many tests, and how much of that is server-side). Even when monitoring non-trivial networks, the amount of CPU and memory needed tends to be rather low. I've monitored networks of 2000 boxes on a server with a pair of dual-core, 1.6 GHz Xeon's. What you do need, when you scale up to those numbers, is a non-trivial amount of disk-I/O. Keeping 10,000+ RRD files updated takes some bandwidth. On the other hand, if you're only monitoring a dozen servers, you can run the xymon server on most anything you have available.
