Your requirements will depend on how much overhead your virtualization
technology has. If you can operate without virtual servers, that would
be much better.
How many player slows your hardware can hold will depend on the tickrate
of the servers(among other things). If you are looking into hosting
competitive servers at 128 tick, 350 active players will require a dual
CPU config. Each srcds instance will use up to 500MB ram depending on
the slot count for each server.
Are you trying to host a lot of smaller, 10 player servers? If so, it
will open up the available CPUs you can use, as high slot servers
require very fast CPU cores.
Your bandwidth estimate is correct.
I would recommend windows, only because I have experience with CS:GO on
both Linux and Windows, and right now Windows provides superior
performance for larger servers.

Hello CS-GO list members ,
My name is Michael and I am from a starting company in the E-Sports
branch in the Netherlands.
One of our key focusses are to organise Esport events , we also have a
gaming webshop and offer server rental.
Untill now we were hosting several virtual servers on private
"home"machines these were only for private and fun use.
Now that our needs are getting bigger than our current hardware can
handle, we are planning on investing in a dedicated server or farming
VPS instances. We want to rent out Counter-Strike GO server instances
to clients in a best practice method, these servers should also
support competitve play for tournaments. But I have some burning
questions about this issue on what I can find almost no clear answer
for so far.
*-What are the minimum server requirements for multiple (virtual)
Counter-Strike GO servers capable for max 350 users in Europe?*.
untill now I have found this data , is this accurate?
• 2gb ram
• 1.5ghz cpu dual core
• 1 gb dskspace
• HDD 15K RPM SAS drive Raid10
• Bandwidth 50.5KB/s per player
*-What sort of Fail-over methods is recommended ?* /(Network Load
Balancing, Hardware Availability)/
I am planning on using vSphere as virtualisation solution.

*-What OS is adviced?*
Currently we are using Debian and ubuntu but is CentOS, Red Hat a
better choice considering a proper and complete support is required to
offer professional services?
Much Bless and Thanks in advance .
greetZz, Michael
