texte = We want to get an Xserve, and put as much on it as we can in order to reduce the number of colocated servers. If I can put the contents of all 4 servers listed below on to a single Xserve, that would be great, but I'm not sure about how to best configure the Xserve for our situation. How would you answer the 5 questions below and why? Current hosting situation: 2 - G4/450 | 20GB SCSI HD | 768MB RAM | WS 4.5 1 - G4/450 | 20GB SCSI HD | 768MB RAM | WS 5.3 | MySQL 3.23.55 1 - G3/400 | 9GB SCCI HD | 256MB RAM | Apache 2.0.47 | PHP 4.3.2 | MySQL 3.23.55 Bandwidth consumption was approximately 200GB across all 4 servers for around 80 websites, 4 SSL's, and 20 FTP accounts. We're using WebDNA, a RAM-resident database, heavily on several sites. 1. Should we go single processor or dual Xserve? 2. Do we need more than 768MB RAM? 3. Could we use a single 60GB drive, or do we need another drive for a RAID? 4. If we go with a RAID, should we use 0 or 1? 5. Will this handle all websites we currently host? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Clint Davis Webmaster / Interactive Media Specialist Gray Loon Marketing Group, Inc. http://www.grayloon.com 204 Main Street | Evansville, IN 47708 | Phone:812-422-9999 --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
