Обсуждение: hardware donation
Jane Street has a spare server we would like to donate to the postgres community. We originally planed to use it for one of our database clusters and it matches exactly what we use in production at the moment.
Rough specs:CPU: 8x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5570 @ 2.93GHz
MEM: 48GB
Is this something the community would find useful? If so, who is the right person to talk to about shipping/delivery?
Cheers,Bene

Mark, we can use this in the performance farm, no? I know I could use it for testing ... -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com

I can be the contact for shipping/delivery. Thanks! Regards, Mark

Overall size 8.7 TB in that configuration. What is the RAID controller used in the server? That doesn't impact the donation, I'm just trying to fit this one into my goals for finding useful community performance testing equipment. There are a good number of systems floating around the community with HP controllers--I have even one myself now--but we could use more LSI Logic and Adaptec based systems. -- Greg Smith 2ndQuadrant US greg@2ndQuadrant.com Baltimore, MD PostgreSQL Training, Services, and 24x7 Support www.2ndQuadrant.com
