At work I’ve got my BSD box’n online. Their both identical dual opteron HP box’s with 4gigs of ram.
They each run certain tasks, bsd.xenserv.com will be serving our core services. mysql.xenserv.com (local secure box) runs atm 1,000queries/sec, so bsd.xenserv.com runs it’s own SQL. In no way am I saying this dedicated SQL server cannot house more, but I’ll keep it for the clients and I can use this SQL server for 1) Testing 2) When doing CPU intensive DB work it’d be nice to do so on a low traffic box.
Excellent!
This blog loads so quick now, I can’t wait to tune this server!
