I'm doing an University project and I need to "buy" a server for a business. I have to simulate an enterprise that sells by Internet. There are many clients and products in the Data Base and we use MySQL in a Linux OS.
I need to find as much information as possible about the hardware requirements like number of processors, necessary memory, cache, HD... to use in a high performance MySQL server
With an open-ended question like yours, your going to get open-ended answers.
I am running MySQL on several machines. One of those machines has a single P2 processor, 64M and 4G hard drive - it provides excellent performance to its "many" clients.
To get reasonable proposals, you need to provide info like how big the database is and how frequently it will be queried.
It is interesting to note that you already decided on MySQL and Linux. This platform is not the answer to every environment; like those that require features only available in beta releases.
