[Geoserver-users] Advice needed on HW configuration...

Hi lists,
sorry for crossposting.

We are in the process of buying a couple of servers, and we are
considering various options for which I would like to have a feeling
of what people out there think about.

The best deal we can get is for 2 machines whose configurations is
more or less as follows:

2 Xeon 5110 1.6 ghz/4mb 1066FSB 64bit
4*1gb RAM 667MHZ
73GB SAS (15k rpm) HD

We should run both Windows 2003 server and Linux at least initially.
I am a bit concerned about the 64 bits processors and how they would
interact with native JAI/ImageIO but also with the App Server and with
JVM. I have seen some strange behaviours when running eclipse-based
apps on an AMD opteron 64 bits hence I am a bit hesitant about this
config.

Does anyone have feedback to report about similar architectures with
GeoTols/GeoServer/uDig?
What's your experience with 64 bits machines?
Do you recommend going for a 32 bit multiprocessor machine instead?
(if we find one :slight_smile: ).

Thanks again and sorry for cross posting.

Simone.

Hi Simone,

For one of our projects we're using a Dual Xeon dualcore with RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (Dell PowerEdge 2600 or 2900 can't remember).
we are using the official sun JDK 1.5 from REHL4 optional repository, and we've added JAI and ImageIO manually.

Everything is working fine on our side and performances are quite good.

Hope this help.
