yap, time for some hardware showoff :P |

ftp.uni-erlangen.de is running at a dual 3ghz xeon setup using 4gb ram. |
17 |
(in fact it IS a HP/Compaq DL380) |
18 |
|
19 |
our diskspace is 4tb on an external transtec ata<->u320scsi array using raid5. |
20 |
this array is running at xfs with some individually tuned parameters. |
21 |
|
22 |
we are using suse 9.1, running a suse-out-of-the-box 2.4.21-243-smp4G |
23 |
but we will soon switch over to a brand new DL380 with dual 3,4ghz with sles9. |
24 |
(we switch, cause the current server will be a dedicated rsync frontend) |
25 |
|
26 |
as you can see at http://www.ftp.uni-erlangen.de/server/ |
27 |
we constantly run under pretty nice load having total traffic of about 29 TB last month. |
28 |
(gentoo was about 4 TB last month). |
29 |
our outbound connection is currently 1gig. |
30 |
|
31 |
we are using apache2 with mpm-worker for http-service, which performed great during |
32 |
the firefox-burn-in (at over 1300 threads with load 30 at ~600mbit avg output). |
33 |
ftp service is currently done by pureftpd, cause we need some features of it, that |
34 |
vsftpd does not provide. |
35 |
thats bad, cause vsftpd is supposed to do a better job than vsftpd. |
36 |
|
37 |
if you need specific setup parameters, feel free to contact me. |
38 |
|
39 |
hope this helps. |
