Well, the first one has twice the cores and memory.. but slightly slower CPU speed.. I'm pretty sure that the 2.4 -> 3.1 Ghz will not make as much difference as twice as many cores will, especially when under load.
Just don't bother with 2.2, I would recommend using the latest 2.4 test build, it's much more stable and scales better, especially if you are using GDAL raster. http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/releases/2.4.0/Test/ That said, GDAL raster is still single threaded so your imagery will be only ever be processed one by one and if the provider crashes you will need to restart the server for GDAL to start working again. If you are interested in multi threaded high, thus high performance raster, I'd suggest donating towards this project http://www.otxsystems.com/community-initiatives/gdal-provider-initiative.html z On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 10:59 PM, JamesDudden <jamesdud...@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote: > I am about to set up a new installation of MG 2.2 using Microsoft Windows > Server Standard 2008 R2 + 5 > with the following resources: > > Users: 5-15 > Layers: 80ish (.shp, .tiff, Access database, SQL Express 2008) > > Does anyone have any knowlegde of what would be a suitable system > specification? > Do the following specs seem ok and which is better suited to my needs? > > > Spec 1 > Chassis 1U 4 Bay Hot Swappable > Processor 2x E5-2609 Intel Quad-Core Xeon > 2.4GHz 10Mb Cache > Memory 2x 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC Reg w/Parity > CL9 DIMM Dual Rank, x4 w/Therm Sen > Hard Drive 3x 1TB Enterprise Class SAS2 6Gb/s > 7200RPM - 3.5" - Seagate CONSTELLATION (RAID 5) > RAID Controller Card LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i 6 Gb/s SAS/SATA RAID > Controller - LSI00201 > Slim line Optical Bay Slim line DVD-RW Dual Layer Drive > Operating System Microsoft Windows Server Standard 2008 R2 + 5 > CALS > > > Spec 2 > Motherboard Xeon E3 X9SCL-F with Dual Gigabit LAN & > Dedicated LAN for IPMI & Remote KVM Management > Processor E3 1220 Intel Quad-Core Xeon 3.1GHz > 8Mb Cache 5GT/s 80Watts > Memory 2x 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 ECC CL9 DIMM with > Thermal Sensor > Hard Drive 3x 1TB Enterprise Class SATA 7200RPM > - 3.5" - Seagate CONSTELLATION ES SATA 3Gb/s (RAID 5) > RAID Controller Card Use On Board RAID of Motherboard > Slim line Optical Bay Slim line DVD-RW Dual Layer Drive SATA > Accessories Front Bezel for SC813 & SC813M & SC815 > & SC818 series > Operating System Microsoft Windows Server Standard 2008 R2 + 5 > CALS > > > Any advice is appreciated > > Regards > James > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/What-is-the-best-system-specification-for-MG2-2-with-90ish-layers-tp4978036.html > Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > _______________________________________________ > mapguide-users mailing list > mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users -- Zac Spitzer Solution Architect / Director Ennoble Consultancy Australia http://www.ennoble.com.au http://zacster.blogspot.com +61 405 847 168 _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
