t I got 2 more spindles per machine compared to a 4-drive unit, so its 50% better I/O perf (both xfer rate and disk-ops) for about $220 more ( = 2 x $90 + 4 x ($90 - $70)) more. > > > > Date: Sat, 6 Nov 2010 07:25:04 -0700 > > Subject: Re: Where do you get your hardware? > &g

RE: Where do you get your hardware?

Nothing against Super Micro, but... You're paying a premium for the half board machines and you're also going to be paying a premium for 2.5" disks. Are you really that tight on rack space? > Date: Sat, 6 Nov 2010 07:25:04 -0700 > Subject: Re: Where do you get your ha

Re: Where do you get your hardware?

Supermicro also sells 4 nodes in a 2U, with 24 2.5" drives. You get 6 drives per node, which is 50% more disk per node. The prices seem to be pretty good. On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 10:17 PM, tsuna wrote: > On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 8:59 PM, Patrick Angeles > wrote: > > Did you mean 2 nodes in 2U? >

Re: Where do you get your hardware?

Did you mean 2 nodes in 2U? Dell, HP and SuperMicro all have models that fit the bill. If you really did mean 2 nodes in 1U you're looking at either 2.5" drives or < 4 spindles per node, neither of which is ideal for Hadoop/HBase in terms of !/$ (bang per buck). On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 9:24 PM, Ja

Re: Where do you get your hardware?

Thanks for the continued input on this. Very interesting replies. I'm particularly interested in the 2 nodes in 1U servers. We'll look into it. Jason On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 6:46 PM, Jonathan Gray wrote: > > Just avoid the dell hard drives, they are a super-rip off. Which btw > > means you'l

re memory. Go white box for your DN (RS) where if you lose a box, you just bring up a new one in its place and re-balance. HTH -Mike > From: jasonl...@gmail.com > Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2010 09:21:03 -0400 > Subject: Where do you get your hardware? > To: user@hbase.apache.org > > We ar

Re: Where do you get your hardware?

We have used the Dell Cloud Servers (C2100 to be exact). Turn around time is a little slower, but it's worth it IMHO. On 11/3/10 8:36 AM, "Patrick Angeles" wrote: >Jason, > >Unless you're operating at Google scale, it doesn't make economic sense to >build your own unless you're *really into that

Re: Where do you get your hardware?

Jason, Unless you're operating at Google scale, it doesn't make economic sense to build your own unless you're *really into that*. Most major vendors (HP, Dell, SuperMicro) will offer a configuration that is very suitable for Hadoop. Regards, - P On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 9:21 AM, Jason Lotz wro

We just set up a cluster with Dells, and have a pretty fine relationship with a local Dell supplier. Tim On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 2:21 PM, Jason Lotz wrote: > We are in the process of analyzing our options for the future purchases of > our Hadoop/HBase DN/RS servers.  Currently, we purchase Dell

Where do you get your hardware?

We are in the process of analyzing our options for the future purchases of our Hadoop/HBase DN/RS servers. Currently, we purchase Dell PowerEdge R710's which work well for us. However, we know that there are other options that may give us more bang for our buck. I'm not as interested in knowing
