Hardware for CAS server

[Gustavo Hartmann]

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)

Hi,

 

We’re buying new kit for our CAS server and wondered what the right spec would be? These are the application requirements:

 

1)     Total 30 thousand users in the system: peaks of 300 to 500 simultaneous logins

2)     We’re using CentOS 64-bit and Tomcat

3)     Authentication is based on a REST web service that talks to a MySQL database.

4)     Server will not be dedicated as we will have other tomcat apps running on it

 

This is what we were thinking in terms of hardware:

 

Dell Core2Duo E7300 (2x2.66GHz)

8GB of RAM

2x250GB SATA2 RAID1

 

Any thoughts are welcome. Not sure whether CPU, RAM or Disk is the most important bit here.

 

Thanks,

Gustavo

Your ram and disk should be more than fine.  We generally deploy on Sun Hardware so I'm not sure I can compare the processors (if you're familiar with both, then we use the Sun T5120)
