Sure, they're running on a PowerEdge 1950 (Dual Core Xeon). I have several of these boxes, each running multiple Mongrels. There is a separate DB server running Mysql, and a load balancer (homemade) that routes to the different boxes.
Im doing quite a bit of file serving + heavy DB queries, so my application is very much IO bound. I started with the standard 4 mongrels, but found I could get a lot more out of each server with 10. -Pete On Feb 27, 2007, at 2:26 PM, Paul King wrote: > Sorry if this is a little off-topic, but might I ask what your > hardware setup/config is for ten mongrels? > > Thanks, > - Paul > > On 27/02/07, Pete DeLaurentis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Having multiple servers has been a must in my experience with >> Mongrel, >> mainly because if a task is database / IO bound then other users >> have to >> wait for it. >> >> I'm using Lighttpd => Pound => 10 Mongrels right now. >> >> Lighttpd just released a new version (1.5), which has the ability to >> directly contact multiple mongrels. >> >> I'll likely upgrade to this later in the week.
