Server Specs Xeon vs i7

We are running multiple MSSQL Server databases ranging from 60gb to 550gb in DB sizes. However the machine that we are using are Core i7 CPUs instead of Xeon CPUs. Do you guys think there will be a difference or improvement if we shift to Xeon CPUs?
Thanks

Most of my clients servers use i7 (and almost all of my personal developing machines use i7), and this is a great CPU for them. When selecting a CPU architecture for a server, you do need
to know what you're doing with the server itself, and what the CPU should do, Moreover, the price (licensing costs) is part of the decision.

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)
Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.2) for Linux x86-64 (Doc ID 1330701.1)

DMS Server Specs

Can anybody provide a doc with the correct server specs? I'm looking for the actual C210 server. Specifically, is it an M1 or M2? What amount of memory is installed in the DMM and SnS? What CPU? Heat? Power? Dimensions? Etc. Last document I saw on compatibility only show specs up through 5.1 (almost 2 years old!!)

If you bought your DMM recently you are probably running on a HP MCS-7835 H3 previous versions were H1 and H2.

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

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.
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.

Server Specs

Hello Kind Identity Management Folks!
We are getting ready to purchase and setup our production server environment for our Identity Management Project. We will be managing about 40,000 accounts. The majority of the management tasks will involve manipulating data in a production LDAP server. That data will then be used by other systems to handle authentication and resource access. We have a good understanding of our requirements for the LDAP server hardware. Unfortunately we do not have a good understanding of our IDM server hardware. Currently we are planning on housing 4 production systems. One pair for end user access (reseting passwords, account claiming, etc.) and one pair for back end system processing and administrative tasks (Active Sync., etc.). We want to load balance between the two servers for each pair. We are planning on using a content switch to load balance. We believe that we will be running RedHat on all of the systems.
Soooo...... What kind of specs do you all think we should be getting for the 4 servers? What kind of specs are you using? How does your usage compare with our projected usage? Is there anything hardware wise you think we should be aware of?
Any input into the hardware needs of IDM is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jim

System notes:
User Population: ~300K
Identity System Password Changes: ~4K/day
Resource Password Changes: ~12K/day
Identity System Password Resets: ~1K/day
User Modifications (other than password): ~5K/day (about half flowed to downstream resources)
10 ActiveSync adapters (more on this later)
Primary Resources:
RACF (190K users)
AD (100K users)
LDAP (~300K users)
Novell (14K users)
Server Specs:
DB Servers -- 2xSun V490 each w/16GB RAM running an Oracle Cluster
Active Sync Servers -- 2xSun V440s each with 8GB RAM running Weblogic 8.1SP5 and Sun 1.4.2 JVM (heavily tuned for garbage collection)
User Facing Servers -- 10xHP DL380s w/4GB RAM running RedHat, Weblogic 8.1SP5, Jrockit JVM (heavily tuned)
We configured the ActiveSyncs to make it so the each dealt with approximately 10% of the changes, first one filtered to deal with employee numbers ending in 0, second to deal with employee numbers ending in 1, etc. We couldn't get it to scale otherwise - our nightly data changes were taking almost eight hours to process, we now deal with them in under an hour.
The user facing servers also deal with miscellaneous tasks, we are starting to bring other smaller systems into the fold, and they will handle those as well. We could deploy more instances of the application on all servers, but we're still getting our feet wet, and it's working fairly well so far. We see typical loads on all servers to be under 20% utilization, except for the DBs, which we see jump to 70 or 80% under heavy use periods (particularly AD reconciliations).
Hope that helps you out.

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.
Thanks

I 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?

Willem

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 Advance

My 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.

I am not going to really make a judgement on your specs as I don't really think you can do it over a forum it requires much more depth in understanding on how the system would be used.
Though looking at the specs for the essbase server, are you considering storing the data on the local disk, if so I would consider looking at getting more space as you could easily hit that amount if you have a number of large applications on there.
Other than that it looks ok for a number of planning applications, you may have to increase the ram if you are going to have quite a few planning applications running on a 64bit platform and want to include any other products, once again its hard to make judgements and you will probably be fine it is a ok spec.

Flash Background Update Server Specs

This may be the wrong forum, so I apologize if that is the case.
I have been working to setup an internal background update server for Flash. My dev testing is working great so it's time to move large scale...
But, in order to get a server ordered, I need to provide some specs and I can't seem to find anything helpful for determining what kind of server I should look for. My environment has over 57,000 PC's and Mac's that will be calling in for updates. Any suggestions on where to find this are appreciated.

Now the version.xml file is pointing to the below but the latest release is 11.8.800.94
<version>
<ActiveX major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="224"/>
<Plugin major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="224"/>
<MacPlugin major="11" minor="7" buildMajor="700" buildMinor="225"/>
<SAUConfig checkFrequency="1"/>
</version>
Why adobe is not keeping up-to-date with the latest version ?? Is there any other server or method to get the latest version ??

Recommend Hyper-V Server Specs

Hallo ladies and gentlemen
I am a 2nd year BSC IT and we had an assignment that we need to get a job and ask a few questions about their working environment. The job I got ask me to get information on Hyper-V (Best practices, What to avoid, Configuration Recommendations, etc. ) I
need to get information about if their specs is correct or is their any other recommendations suited better. Their project involves installing 8 servers with 4 VM's on each. Here is the specs of every Server Host
All 8 hosts contain
64 GB Ram
320 GB Disk Space
20 CPU Cores
Every VM will contain
8Gb VM Ram
40 GB Disk space
4 CPU Cores
6 VM's Per Host ( Max )
4 VM's Per Host ( Designed )
Also I am not sure if all servers platforms require the same specs but here is a list of how many and which server platforms their are on each host
Host 1
GR Node
RDS Server
Application Server
Not sure which is the 4th one
Host 2
Historian
RDS Server
RDS Server
Application Server
Host 3 - 8
RDS Server
RDS Server
Application Server
Application Server
The next hosts are redundant
Host 1 and 2
Host 3 and 4
Host 5 and 6
Host 7 and 8
It looks like I have covered everything that I had on paper so is the specification great or what do you recommend if not ?

Hi SandMan,
we cannot give Sizing advice based on Roles, it depends mostly on Performance and SLA Requirements. I personally use the MAP Toolkit (http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/solutionaccelerators/dd537566.aspx) to gather Performance Requirements.

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 AM

obviously 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
