This is to be used for discussions about our club's new server! Whether AMD or Intel, Western Digital or Seagate, Windows or Linux are all important decisions to make!
I was thinking:
- Lots of RAM (8GB or more)
- Xen-based virtualization
- gives us more flexibility in the use of our server, whether use as a webserver, backup server, or even other uses to be decided later.
- at least two HDD in RAID1 for data security
- Intel-based processor/mobo
- Nehalem based cpus offer great performance and scalability.
