Hi Group
Capacity Planning:
This is one of my unknowns unfortunately. Im going to be quoting for a
reasonable size organisation of 150 extensions and just wondering if the high
end standard boxes will be fine.
I could purchase two nice Dell server for lots more $$ giving me more grunt and
redundant power supplies which is fine but if its not necessary then why would
I?
Im probably looking at the Qotom at this stage which has an amazing
price/performance ratio.
What do you think? Is anyone running this many extensions on a similar or
smaller box?
Storage Reliability:
I have been running a number of Astlinux hardware types now including PC
Engines ALIX, APU1 & 2, Jetway Atom various flavours and recently Qotom. At
this stage, except for an ALIX box being hit by lightning (I will forgive them
for that), I have had NO hardware failures. I have however had a number of
storage failures including CF cards and mSATA as well.
This question is triggered from a recent purchase of Qotom boxes where the
provided mSATA card was faulty. I have also had a Kingston mSATA card go faulty
on me after a relatively short period of service.
But how do you find a good one? I had enough trouble looking in Australia for a
reasonably priced, name brand mSATA. Unfortunately you just cant find anything
under 120G under $100 AU.
After lots of searching, I found memorydepot.com with a ridiculous number of
and very well priced Innodisk mSATA MLC, iSLC and SLC commercial and wide
temperature models.
Is there a catch? Has anyone had issues with Innodisk? These look perfect for
Astlinux?
