Hi guys,
I'm have the rare opportunity to spec the hardware for a new database
server. It's going to replace an older one, driving a social networking
web application. The current server (a quad opteron with 4Gb of RAM and
80Gb fast SCSI RAID10) is coping with an average load of ranging between
1.5 and 3.5.
The new machine spec I have so far:
What's the limiting factor on your current machine - disk, memory, cpup?
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I'm not sure. The reason we're
changing machines is that we might be changing ISPs and we're renting /
leasing the machines from the ISP.
