The smaller Dells, like the 28xx and 18xx series, are exactly what I consider commodity hardware. Other companies (Sun, HP, Gateway, IBM, Apple, others) make comparable equipment at comparable prices.
Whether you need to spend the money on redundant power supplies and a redundant drive setup is up to you - will depend on how well you and the system you are building will tolerate machines going belly up due to hardware failure. Dan On 4/26/07, lightbulb432 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
What exactly are examples of "commodity servers"? I know what characteristics they have, but could somebody point out several examples that'd be used in a MySQL scale-out? e.g. What do you use? Also, would these servers be 1U or other configurations that take up very little room in a rack? Would something like http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1645657,00.aspbe considered a commodity server? With a price tag of $6K, I'd guess no. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Examples-of-commodity-servers-for-MySQL-tf3652386.html#a10202903 Sent from the MySQL - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
