Thanks Matthew... Have you or anyone else tried running MySQL on them?
thanks again Chris -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Darcy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 12:12 PM To: Christopher Thorpe; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Sun netra's and MySQL I have clustered Netra's together before using SUN HA and Vertias VCS. I found for large content avoid the Netra X1 - more so for webstuff, they run on a very slow IDE bus. They work excellently for say processing like the middleware box, or actual webservers but disk heavy apps I would avoid as the disks cannot keep up with the processing power. The Netra T1, what a box worth while in every way, small VERY fast got the new trendy prom cards as an option. Fast disks, excellent processing of an Enterprise Sparc Chip. Great machine. Be warned though sticking external disks on this is not as straight forward as other larger sun kit. There have both got to internal HME class cards in which work really well. Oracle didn't run to great with large ammounts of recrds, so much infact that a web customer we had we had to upgrade. take a look at smg.co.uk this runs 3 webservers on T1's load blanced in hash format, with a alteon load balancer. Connected on an internal address to a Sun 420R with a Disk array running Oracle. The netras run Java, PHP, sendmail, and a couple of other apps. They all had 512 meg of memory but where starting to strain a little. Hope this helps.

Our database has about 30 tables and about a million rows. Anyone have any ballpark figures on the number of concurrent connected clients and queries per second you can achieve on one of these? thanks and best wishes Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
