Best Hardware Server Specs for Wsus to run close to 3000 Clients
Hello Team,
I am currently configuring a Wsus server 2012 for my company. I am looking forward to buy a Dell rack server and would like to take your input on what is the best server specs I could go for. I am intending to use a San-box to store Wsus content but still
would need the best spec to run it without any outage. Kindly suggest. Thanks in advance.
Many Thanks
Many Thanks Krish

This is documented in the WSUS Deployment Guide
System Requirements article.
But the *BEST* specs you could go for would be whatever you can afford to buy .... which may also be gross overkill for a 3000-node WSUS server.
Load tests from 2007 are documented in the
WSUS Capacity Requirements article in the WSUS3 SP1 Deployment Guide. In short, for 3,000 clients you need a 1.5GHz vCPU and 2GB RAM.

E Business Suite 11i Server Spec for Linux?
Does anyone know, or can suggest possibilities, of a server spec for 11i on Linux. This is for a small company installation of 11i.
Where can I go to ansewer questions like this?
What Linux distributions are supported for 11i?
I was thinking of multiple CPU's, highpoint raid controllers to give RAID 0+1, and 1 or 2 Gb of memory.
thanks
Dave Darrall.Jimmy,
Our E-business suite 11i has been running on the application tiers RHEL 4, due to the requirement to support large memory configurations on a 32-bit system. Is it true that from RHEL 5, the “hugemem” kernel which achieves this 32-bit memory scalability has been deprecated in favour of the use of 64-bit kernels?
Your 11i application tier will be limited to 32-bit even if you install 32-bit OS on x86-64 hardware.
Our Oracle 11g database is running on RedHat Linux 5.8. Is E-Business suite 11i (application tiers) certified to run on RHEL 5.8?
Yes.
Also for future planning, is E-Business suite 12 (application tiers) certified to run on which versions of RedHat?
Please see:
Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 761566.1)

Server Specs for SLES and GW 12
I need to look into a new server to put SLES and GroupWise 2012 on it. I am having trouble finding server specs for this, so I was hoping to get a little advice. GW will be the only thing on this box, one PO with about 150 users. Hoping to build something or purchase something that isn't too expensive due to budget restraints.
ThanksI work for a small non profit organization and we only have one server, never found the need for virtualized servers.

If this is going to be a dedicated physical setup (you are not planning
to run GroupWise on a virtualised server) you should not need a big
budget to find a decent server for those 150 users.
IMO, a dual core CPU with 4 GB of RAM would seem quite sufficient in
this case. Getting a proper disk controller (with a true hardware raid
handling if you are looking for a raid setup) & decent disks that can
handle the I/O required is important too.
The A brand entry level servers that I've seen easily meat this
requirement. Do make sure it's suitable for 64bit.
In any case, GroupWise 2012 has about the same requirements version 8
would demand.
I'm curious, you are not already virtualising servers?

What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
We have looked at a few different applications out there (Rumpus, CrushFTP, etc...) and are wondering what the community feels.
Apples built -in isn't robust enough. We do need some advanced features (reporting, SFTP, a web interface would be nice etc...).
Opinions?Hi
For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

Server Specs for crystal reports server
Hi,
I am a prospect Crystal Reports Server customer. I am looking to find out Server Specs for a typical 10 CAL Crystal Reports Server deployment. The information for minimum spec seems to be widely available but not for a Spec for good performance.
Thanks in AdvanceMy recommendation is to work with an SAP pre-sales consultant who will be able to provide "truer to life" guidelines on RAS sizing. Generally, you're looking to accommodate ~ 30-60 concurrent report events on a single RAS CPU.
Of course, report size (data stored within in, # pages, etc) all get factored into estimating memory requirements and goes back to making use of a pre-sales consultant for this purpose. Additional factors include deploying a multi-RAS configuration and other layouts to optimize your needs. They definitely have what you need - it's a matter of reaching out to them.
Good luck. -

Server Specs for a 11.1.1.3 Install Important questions.
I've put together some specifications for a Development Server & Production Server, any comments appreciated. I hope this post acts as a good reference sample for anybody else out there looking to implement a Hyperion Planning.
Client Tier: (2 developers)
Windows
8 GB RAM
Dual Core Processor
Components: EAS client, Smart View, Excel Add-in
Web Tier:
HTTP Web and J2EE Servers:
Windows + (not sure which version would be best here, any ideas appreciated)+
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ, 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32 GB
Components: Foundation: HSS, Workspace, Planning, Web Applications: EAS, Financial Reporting, Web Analysis, Planning,
Services Tier:
Server1:
Windows (2003 SP1, R2)
Processor: 4 x 3 GHZ 64 bit
RAM: 16 GB
Disk: 32GB
Components: Essbase Server 64 bit
Server2:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: Reporting & analysis, Financial Reporting Print Services, ODI
Server 3:
Windows (2003, SP1 R2)
Processor: 2 x3 Ghz 64 bit
RAM: 8GB
Hard Drive: 32GB
Components: FDM
Database Tier:
4 x 3 GHZ - 8 GB RAM
DISK: 100GB RDBMS
200GB Essbase Storage
The specifications will be similar for the production for abotu 25 - 30 users (10 concurrent), with RAM being a little bumped up.
One important question: I might need guidance on installing 32 bit planning or FDM on the 64 bit server - any known issues with this? Also any known issues with 64 bit Essbase working with 32 bit Planning?
Edited by: EssbaseApprentice on Sep 30, 2010 10:04 AMobviously its hard to comment on whether it is the perfect spec for your environment, it looks alright to me, it is not under spec.
For the web tier as you are running reporting and analysis and the other machines are windows based personally I would stick with windows 2003.
Is there any reason why you have one machine dedicated just to FDM, seems a bit of an overkill just for one product, it may be worth combining services server 2 with FDM, just a suggestion though

Best Application Server Specificatin for Application Environments
Hi Guys,
I am juz more than curious and excited to know about using an Application Server which would be best suited for development environ and other phases (Testing and Production). Anyone plz do lemme know how do I go about in giving app server specification for a web application's (as heavy as 1 lac hits / users) load management and performance optimization.
Hope I am clear with my query.....Please do help me out in answering my query...
Thanks in Advance
KishoreHi,
Since Sun App Server is a Sun Product it would be better if you go for it because of comaptibility. However I have worked with Tomcat also and didn't face any problem. Since you have told you are a newbie it would be better if you start on Tomcat a handling tomcat is much easier as compared to Sun App Server.

Best Email Server Linux for PUSH IMAP on BB10
Hi,
I have mdaemon 10 in my company but this version not support PUSH Email for IMAP, I want change this but I want to know which is the best email server (not microsoft) in linux for this?
You can help me? Any can tell me some options?
Best Regards,I successfuly use vsftpd on a production server (& AL mirror) at ftp.kegep.tuc.gr so I can recommend it. You just need to change the line "disable = yes" to "disable = on" in /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd and start xinetd. Check also 'man vsftpd.conf' for configuration options.
Proftpd is easier to setup & I was using it on my debian woody server for a long time, but vsftpd is more secure IMHO (proftpd had 2 advisories lately, plus redhat.com & openbsd.org use vsftpd ) & more advanced.
I can send you some conf files if you want, send me your e-mail via pm for that. -
Installer build spec loses spec for exe to run after
I don't know why, but now & then the build spec for my application installer loses the setting in the Advanced tab to run a certain .exe after installing. The .exe to run after installing is created by a build spec in the same project (from LV source). Besides rebuilding that .exe (without changing the .exe's build spec, name, or location, just minor source code mods), nothing has changed in the project, but the installer's Advanced setting will suddenly be gone. What the heck?!
My project & source files are too large to attach.Hi Meg,
I noticed this forum post and figured I would chime in here as well.
We have been working on this issue and are hoping to isolate the exact steps that cause the sporadic loss of the postbuild EXE setting. An initial suspicion was the EXE being moved or rebuilt to a different location. That being said, if anyone has run into this issue in the past and has any insight it would be appreciated, as this problem has not been consistently reproduced.
Thanks,

In the meantime, I can suggest a couple or three items that aren't too expensive.
1) Your computer has four drive bays. Fill them up with the largest hard drives you can afford. I prefer the Seagate 7200.11 SATA drives. The 1TB version is about $120 each right now. With four drives living in your MP, you can have one boot (system) drive and three media drives. I would NOT RAID them. The 7200.11 drives in a MP will benchmark at around 100 MB/sec, which is plenty fast for your needs.
2) You have an 8 processor computer and Apple recommends 1GB of RAM per processor for running Compressor batches. So, you should buy 6 X 1GB RAM modules to fill your MP RAM slots. Make sure you buy RAM with Apple approved heat sinks. Crucial.com is a good source.
3) For back-up and archiving of media files, I recommend firewire drives with removable trays, like the Burly enclosures from MacGurus. You buy the enclosures and the extra trays from MacGurus, then buy the raw drives (Seagate 7200.11) separately from a reliable online vendor, like newegg.com, for the trays. The Burly case is built like a tank, with two fans, so it isn't as likely to burn up drives like some other firewire enclosures. -

It was recently suggested (perhaps earlier in this very thread?) [EDIT: Sorry, it was in a different thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3232389?start=0&tstart=0] that the G5 Quad can take the 4-GB RAM modules for a total of 32GB GB max. I know for a fact you cannot use 8-GB sticks.

Whats the best file output spec for a file output i.e rather than an AVCHD disc
I have been making travel videos for many years and in all the formats available at the time at the time. I moved from analogue to digital and latterly HD video (1080x1920) via Panasonic HDC-SD600 camcorder. Using software I created AVCHD Discs and played them on my Blu Rayer Player. However I now realise that the discs can degrade? and start to stick on playback. So I moved on to creating Video Files that I can transfer to my flash drive to feed directly to my HD tv. In previous software I took the option MP4 HD and I had no problem. However the software did start giving an unrelated problem and I changed to Adobe Premiere Elements 12. But the MP4 HD option offered in Publish and Share when transferred to Flash Drive will not play on TV (No Movies Found). Could it be that I reformatted the flash drive to NTFS to allow greater tha 4G?. I have scanned various adobe forums and tutorials but not luckly enough to find one that explains the best outputs for this type of use
Can you help. I am slightly knowledgeable about codecs and containers.Bill,
Finally solved my problem. It turned out to be the Flash Drive! I realised this was at fault when the TV stopped seeing any files irrespective of format. I re-formatted the drive back to FAT 32. I then used a ten minute video and with PE12 Publish and Share options created 6 files with different formats. 2 of these played back perfectly. I then went and done some homework and read up on Frames and Refresh rates and how PAL and NTSC still matters in this digital age. I finally opted for the AVCHD option of MP4 H264 1920x1080p at 25fps. Which I believe is correct for PAL countries.
My TV has 100hz refresh rate so that means at 25fps each frame is repeated 4 times every 25th of a second. Forgetting all the Tech when I watched the video I found it really good and that decides it for me!
It does leave me with something to live with however, I am apparently stuck with the 4 gigabyte barrier of FAT 32. However this gives about 30 minutes of HD video so I may have to opt for Video part one and Video part two for longer videos. I will re check the spec of my TV just to ensure the USB inputs are definately restricted to FAT 32.
I am now thinking about DNLA as another means of playing a video file from computer to TV. But this new to me so it looks like more homework.
Any tips or help will be welcome
