Dear R-ers, need your advice on hardware (beware - I am not knowledgeable about that).
I find R runs wonderfully on laptops. In my company, we decided to get some kind of a powerful computer (server?) so that we could run big jobs on it (e.g., in R, SAS, SPSS, Excel). We were thinking of something more powerful than a simple additional laptop or desktop, but something with superior computing power - something everyone could log into remotely, and something that several people could work on simultaneously. Our IT has given us what they call a "virtual server", but it runs more slowly than my laptop - I checked! Any advice on what we should be looking for? What should that be? What technical characteristics should it have? And should we then just install the regular R on it or something else? Thank you very much for your advice! -- Dimitri Liakhovitski Ninah.com dimitri.liakhovit...@ninah.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
