RE: Hardware specs for new cluster

Thanks for the input. My biggest concern is that we have almost no static web content other than images. Sounds like I just need to worry about the web servers themselves. Currently I'm planning on 6 Opteron boxes with 4GB RAM and two similar machines as lb's.

Hi,

We are running a LAMP cluster doing 15 million hits/day and about
90GBytes/day.  The cluster consists of 2 redundant Ultramonkey
loadbalancers and 4 dual Xeon webservers.

The loadbalancers are single P4 servers with 256 MB memory each.  The
webservers are dual Xeon with 2GB memory each.  The cluster is coping
perfect with this kind of traffic.  Not anyway near their limit.
Loadbalancer load for example is reading 0.14, 0.11, 0.09 and cpu usage
is not even mentionable.

Regards,
Jochen Billen
