OK, now we're getting somewhere.

Here's what I have gone back to the hardware vendor for a quote on. Production server: HP DL385, dual 2.2 Opteron, 8GB RAM, (2) 73GB 15K drives mirrored.
Test/QA server: same, except 4GB RAM, (2) 73GB 15K drives mirrored Data storage: HP DS2120 storage box with (4) 73GB 15K drives for 200+GB RAID5 storage.

My thinking is with all of this I can easily throw more RAM or disks into this if needed, but with RAM at $1600/GB for PC3200 why not see how it performs. I realize during the upgrade phase it may be sluggish, but after all is said and done, our 55 concurrent sessions and 50GB database should perform well.

Does this seem logical? Received on Tue Nov 08 2005 - 14:47:52 CST
