Darrin-- Here are the systems I have (copy into Excel, there are tabs separating each column):
System Drive Size "Drive Count" Raid Memory Processor Dell PowerEdge 1950 73GB 15K RPM 2 1 4000 Intel Xeon 5130 Dual Core 2.0Ghz Dell PowerEdge 2950 146GB 15K RPM 2 1 4000 Dual Intel Xeon 5130 Dual Core 2.0Ghz Dell PowerEdge 2950 73GB 15K RPM, 146GB 15K RPM 2,3 1,5 4000 Dual Intel Xeon 5130 Dual Core 2.0Ghz Dell PowerEdge 2950 146GB 15K RPM 2 1 4000 Dual Intel Xeon 5130 Dual Core 2.0Ghz Dell PowerEdge 2950 73GB 15KRPM, 300GB 15KRPM 2,4 1,5 4000 Dual Intel Xeon 5130 Dual Core 2.0Ghz Dell PowerEdge 2950 146GB 15K RPM 2 1 4000 Dual Intel Xeon 5130 Dual Core 2.0Ghz Dell PowerEdge 2950 146GB 15K RPM 2 1 4000 Dual Intel Xeon 5130 Dual Core 2.0Ghz Dell PowerEdge 2950 73GB 15KRPM 2,3 1,5 8000 Dual Intel Xeon Quad Core 3.0Ghz We're looking at using two 1950's as the Load Balancers, the 2950 Quad Core as DB1, a 2950 as DB2, 2 of the 2950's as Web Servers, one as a Staging Env, etc.. Do you feel this is adequate? ;-) What solution did you implement; software load balancing? If so, do you feel it would run well on the above machines?
