What type of server do you use? And how many online users do you have normally?

What type of server do you use? And how many online users do you have normally?

On one forum... Dual Xeon L5520 with 36GB RAM, 2 SATA 1TB HD's in RAID 1 (software) - average online users 2 registered and anywhere from 5-15 guests/robots.
The other two are based on a Dual Xeon L5639 with now 36GB RAM and same HD setup - average on one forum 1 registered user and 10 or less guests/robots and the other forum 1 user and 16-20 guests/robots.

Those are just the XenForo forums running on them. The L5639 also has 4 myBB forums running there also.

AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor, 16GB RAM, 2x500GB HDD (RAID 1).

But my forum is running on VM so it use 2 core, 2GB RAM, and 125GB HDD. Average user online is 3-5 user, with 5-10 guests/robots.

The fun stuff is the 4U with the 48 blue lights (each light is a hard drive). In that 4U, there are 8 servers, each server has 256GB RAM, E5-2680 x2 (8 physical cores per CPU), Seagate Savvio 10.6K hard drives (900GB each) x6, with everything interconnected via 56Gbit Infiniband.

So yeah... as a grand total, 4U contains: 128 physical CPU cores (256 threads), 2TB RAM, 43.2TB storage space. Pretty nutty how dense you can get stuff these days. Lots of fun nerdy stuff.

The chassis I use are the Super Micro SuperServer 2027TR-H71RF+: http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/2U/2027/SYS-2027TR-H71RF_.cfm

Want to ship me one for my birthday?

I would, but then you would have to buy an InfiniBand switch and they aren't cheap (I only have 1, so I can't send you one).

I dread to think how much such a system would cost....do tell DP!

I use a cloud server with 4 cores, 8GB RAM, 1000 Mbps port, 200GB hard drive and a load balancer with same specs.
