Example equipment specification
From ISPWiki
Following is an example equipment specification for a cluster.
As of the beginning of 2010.
Surely, you may use less devices, but if you have sufficient funds, we would recommend that you follow the recommendation herein.
- Storage (2 units) - Dual Xeon E5530 / 16 Gb RAM / 12x1Tb SATA / RAID 10
- MySQL node (2 units) - Dual Xeon E5420 / 16 Gb RAM / 4x140GB SAS / RAID 10
- Master node (2 units) - Dual Xeon E5420/ 16 Gb RAM / HDD 160GB SATA
- Worker - (2 units) - Dual Xeon E5420/ 16 Gb RAM / HDD 160GB SATA
If you do not need 100% uptime and you can quickly repair a failed node, you do not need to duplicate all the nodes. For example, expensive Storage and MySQL can be duplicated later.
