I was reading a thread earlier where the OP was worried about the Sizing Recommendations given by Neo4j specially for testing purposes.
I recommend renting a server to explore performance characteristics of your application and data size before shelling out 6 figures a server. About two years ago, I found a hosting provider out of LA called WebNX that rents high end servers for very reasonable prices. Their website is: http://webnx.com and they list their standard setups. They have clearance boxes at : http://www.webnx.com/servers/clearance.html ... and you can find even more specials at http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36 (a forum for dedicated server offers) For example: $159 a month: Intel Core i7 870 (4 / 8HT cores at 2.93ghz) 16gb RAM, 1x 120GB SSD w/ 500GB HDD $259 a month: Intel Core i7 870(4 / 8HT cores at 2.93ghz) 32gb RAM, 4x 300gb 15k sas-2 w/ hardware raid 10 $349 a month: AMD(2x 8 core)16 core 64gb RAM, 4x 450gb 15k rpm sas w/ hardware raid 10 $499 a month: Intel Xeon X5550 - 8 cores at 2.66ghz, 96gb RAM, 4x 146gb 15k sas w/ raid 10 10TB BW $899 a month: Intel 12 core 2x 5645(24HT Cores), 144gb RAM, 8x 300gb 15k sas w/ hardware raid 10 You can find these: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=1093819&highlight=webnx I don't have any financial connection with WEBNX, I am just a customer. -- View this message in context: http://neo4j-community-discussions.438527.n3.nabble.com/Rent-Low-Cost-High-Memory-Servers-on-a-Monthly-Basis-tp3478120p3478120.html Sent from the Neo4j Community Discussions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list User@lists.neo4j.org https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
