In a lot of testings we saw that the performance profit of RAID1 in comparison 
to RAID5 
is not really viewable any more for databases (mySQL).
RAID10 is a bit of a hustle to configure and maintain.
I would go with either RAID5 or RAID1 as said.

    RAID-5 for
      Database is not recommended, because of the poor writing
      performance. Use Raid 1 or raid 10 for database use.

      Hi
        Matthias, another note. I would prefer SAS-disks as Matthias
        mentioned.

        Performance-wise they seem to be faster.

        Of course you have to use a fast RAID-1 or RAID-5-Controller as

        well.

        Another idea could be to take a virtualization engine like

        Citrix XenServer of VM-Ware ESXi in the backend.

        And then put each different shop on an own guest root-system.

        (for security and performance reaseons).

                 Hallo Matthias,

                thanks a lot for this very informaton-stuffed and
                helpful reply! The servers I go for are able to handle
                multiple IP-configurations and are  managed systems. I
                do not have the technical skills and human recources to
                maintain and monitor the system 24/7. I also plan to use
                the HTML-Caching-Module by FATCHIP for the  highly
                visited / peak-plagued shops, wich is perfect for
                balancing peak-times such as commercials and stuff like
                that. MySQL-config and DB-table-configuration of the
                individual shop can be tweaked additionally - wich might
                also bring a certain performance-boost and stability.
                This is something I will take care for after moving to
                the managed system.

                How many visitors (average / peak) is your configuration
                able to handle?

                What would you expect the following machine to be able
                to handle?

                Core i7-970 (hexacore 3,2 GHz)

                24 GB DDR3 RAM

                2x 1,5 TB SATA-Disks (Raid1)

                optional 2x 160 GB SSD

      We use a
        customized Server with an Motherboard with dual CPU features.

          At the moment only one CPU is mounted. Intel CPU's have more
          performance, but as cost as more than AMD CPU's.

          At least use a RAID I array with SATA disks. On RAID I you
          have secure and a some performance(Read) features.

          To Improve performance you can add a SSD RAID I array, also
          with secure and performance features.

          One other option is to use SAS Hard-disks to improve
          performance.

          To split HTTP Server and MySQL Database also improve
          performance.

          Another performance boost is to store the Oxid Pictures on
          another HTTP Server. Modern Browsers used max 8 connections to
          one server to load sources, with that you can increase these
          connections.

           

          If you are planing several shops with sevaral IP's and SSL
          certificates you need a Provider that offers your IP-Address
          afford.

          Most Provider offers max 3 IP-Addresses per server. We use a
          Provider with a Cisco Gbit Switch to manage a lot of
          IP-Addresses.

          Remote Management is a good feature to access your server on
          e.g. configurations faults (Network).

          With these feature you have the possibility to access your
          server faster than the Service-Worker of your Provider and you
          save money.

          planing for the next year I come to the following
          visitor-numbers per day:

          Shop 1: 1.300

          Shop 2: 10.500

          Shop 3: 1.100

          Shop 4: 1.600

          SUM: 14.500 visitors per day (one year on)

          Additionally we need to plan for extra 3000 to 5000 users
            during marketing-campaigns hitting in during 2 hours.

          What machine would be able to handle all four shops?? Is it
          reasonable to let all four shops run on one machine, or would
          it be better to put each shop onto a single machine?

          I am thankfull for all information / own experiences / known
          configurations and so on.
