Hey guys, Happy New Years to all you!
I just wanted to ask for your recommendation on our fossology setup and
planning for this year.
Currently we have the multi-fossology setup with 6 machines and it's working
great (thanks to all your hand-holding :-)!!!
We have the setup in one of our lab benches and are trying to decide if we
should leave the existing setup in place, place it into production in the
server room, or purchase new hardware to consolidate the multi-setup into a
"single" faster Server-class rack-mountable machine.
Our fossology project has gotten some really high-visibility with management
and they definitely see the need for it due to our code review and
Intellectual Property and Compliance guidelines.
So my question is I currently have the 6 machines which consiste of (mostly
all):
(6) Machines -
(1) Server (DB, Web Server, Scheduler)
(5) Fossology Agents/Distributed Repos
- Dual-Core (2) Intel 6400 2.13 Ghz CPUs
- 4 GB RAM (mainly 4 GB, except for 1 or 2)
- 150 GB SATA II 3.0 Hard Drives
Considering getting (1) Rack-mountable DELL server with:
- (2) Intel® Xeon® X5560, 2.8Ghz, 8M Cache,Turbo, HT, 1333MHz Max Mem
(Each CPU is a Quad-Core (4) CPU, which should equate to having
(8) CPUs for our setup.)
- 24 GB 1333MHz Memory for 2 processors
- 1TB 7.2K RPM SAS Hard Drive
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 x64 Operating System
So obviously this is a really nice server, almost a why would I be asking or
what's not to like question right?
Well just wondering about anything that would absolutely NOT work like the
OS (we were using Ubuntu prior but RHEL 5 has better backup/restore
capabilities since we use Veritas Netbackup), or any bottlenecks compared to
the multi-setup we got right now. And we're obviously trying to save space
and go away from the 6 Tower machines we got. We're investing money into the
hardware but need to return the existing hardware back to IT for new
employees as well.
So any feedback/suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated?
-Regards,
Gibran Marquez
