Forum² Admin F2 Staff Posted May 17, 2008 Forum² Admin Posted May 17, 2008 Let everyone know what kind of server hardware you installed Windows Server 2008 to. It will help us put a list together of hardware that is compatible. If you have any problems with certain hardware add a note about the conflicts. Quote

bluerover Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Server Specs For Now, Running a VMWare on a Dell Optiplex 280G Workstation. As per the VM im running 1.25GB ram. 65GB Virtual HDD. I am an IT Intern for a medium sized company and they were looking for a fresher global colabartion approach. So being the young whipper snapper that I am, I have decided to depoly a test box, and run MOSS (share point server). So far things are looking good. Quote
dai Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I have an Intel MFSYS25 Modular Server and at the moment each module is running Windows Web Server 2008. I intend to use this for web and email hosting (to upgrade our existing equipment). I may have to replace Web Server 2008 if it doesn't do everything I need, such as clustering etc. Each server has dual 3GHz Xeon processors and 4GB RAM. I only have 7x68GB SAS drives at the moment but intend to expand this at a later date. So far it all seems perfectly compatible and works like a dream. I've had no errors, crashes or BSODs etc so far :) Quote
bilbus Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 no web editions do clustering. Why would you need clustering on a web server? The web edition does NLB, thats what you need. Your backend database server is the one that may need clustering. Quote

Forum² Admin F2 Staff Posted June 9, 2011 Author Forum² Admin Posted June 9, 2011 I got a mix of 4u custom built boxes and a few mini servers using hacked up Shuttle XPC's. The one that runs this site is an oldie but goodie. It has 4 first gen Xeon 1GHz slot 1 processors with 32 gigs of ram in a 4u case on an Intel motherboard. It has an Adaptec scsi controller, running 12 32gig IBM drives. 4 internal and 8 in an external enclosure. It was the first server I put online 12 years ago and it's been up with the exception of OS reloads for the whole time. It's a workhorse and at the time cost over $10K to build. I would put it's performance up against any of the top of line servers of today. Quote
pook Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Just finished my second Official server build. First time for one using Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Enterprise. Custom built for the company I work for. Probably a little different from what most people run as I built this using a Full Gaming Tower. Enjoy having it this way rather than rack mount. Hardware Specs: Thermaltake Level 10 Super GT modular tower (5x5.25" drive bays, 5 Hot swap bays 2.5"-3.5" drive accessible ) 5x Hitachi Coolspin 5400 rpm 32mb buffer 3tb Internal drives (soon to expand into 5 more of the same Drives) Asus M5A88-V evo Motherboard AMD Phenom II x4 980 Black edition (Quad Core)3.7 GHz 16GB Patriot DDR3 1600MHZ Ram Ran Bios unlocked all 4 cores. Default clock speed Quote
ICTCity Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 What? 5400RPM hard drives?!?! I hope there's not exchange or SQL on that server!

pook Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Negative no exchange or SQL. I wanted faster HDD but boss wanted budget friendly with most amount of storage space, and 3tb for $117.00 caught his attention quickly. Servers only used for FTP transfers and storage database Quote
ICTCity Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 Ftp and storage with 16gb of ram... Ehehe quite good for a storage server :P Quote -------------------------------------------------------- Tu peux aussi crire en franais. Du kannst auch auf Deutsch schreiben.
