First of all, I sincerely thank you for this unexpected fast reply, Those specs i mentioned are based on a single average server. Which I would guess be arround 10 - 20 players.
for the machines we would like to virtualise upon we have several options: High CPU machines these types have one virtual core for every 0.90 GB of RAM from 2 till 16 cores. or High Memory types which have 6.5GB RAM per virtual core. also from 2 till 16 cores A virtual CPU is implemented as a single hyperthread on a 2.6GHz Intel Sandy Bridge Xeon or Intel Ivy Bridge Xeon (or newer) We will be hosting smaller amounts of high slot servers and several with arround 10 to 20 slots OS: In a farming perspective, do the costs of Windows license overweight the profit of performance compared to Linux. I would like to operate without virtualisation but to be honost I dont see how this is cost efficient from a business perspective. 2014-12-10 21:51 GMT+01:00 <[email protected]>: > Send Csgo_servers mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > > https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/csgo_servers > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Csgo_servers digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
