No more boredom at work when the server goes down.

looks like a great setup. what software runs the server?
(what OS and server package)

by the way, would whoever's in change want a dedicated OS drive so you could put the new ones in RAID and have them be content only? i have a few 40GB laying around, nothing great but i could donate one.

Build your own SAN, multiple servers accessing the same content with instant failover. Or IBM makes a sweet blade server that has really nice failover capabilities, if one server dies, you can hot swap it and us customers don't even have to know. How much storage does the Forums require (we had 2 TB configured at my old work)?

good stuff!

I used to admin 15,000 SCSI drives... those scream too.

those are definitely sweet, but getting a TB of storage would cost as much as a second server. if i were going to spend money like that, id find ways to put the most recent content on solid state, clocked at INFINITY rpm.
(ok technically 0)

those blade servers are pretty sweet too, but if we're hailing a 2.6ghz with 6 gig of memory as the server's savior, we're a long way from a blade server. putting a few drives in a RAID array is a lot simpler than setting up a SAN too... and only needs one computer.

before my time, but didn't those literally scream too? i vaguely remember booting up some stuff before i'd go to lunch and have the SCSI drives still spinning up when i got back

just offering my .02 for the admins... its a lot easier to set up RAID when there's nothing on the drives, and it's nothing you can't do with one machine... think of the speed...

These days, disk I/O IS the hardware bottleneck.

'Grats on the new system!

Personally, I would have gone with 10K SAS drives considering the number of hits to this site. SATA is great for large capacity, but SAS is where it's at if you're looking for performance without dropping a load on SSDs.

I'd imagine that the admin is mirroring the two SATA drives. I just hope it is hardware RAID with a decent controller (I'm not familiar with Dell). If not, LVM is pretty decent

UPDATE!

SERVER IS IN & BEING INSTALLED!

Antoine · 11-18-2009, 07:29 PM

madgabCX7 · 11-18-2009, 10:02 PM

yudkib · 11-20-2009, 01:25 PM
