Just got off the phone with a friend who recently started a new company
and needs some backoffice expansion.
He takes care of the billing needs of several telco's and needs 2 database servers to deal with about 10 mil transactions per day.
This is what we know:
- 2 servers
- at least 250 gig storage RAID (for example... 2 for the OS other 2 for data etc etc?)
- 2 gig ram seems sufficient with current testing model.
- both servers should be identical (one master second slave duplicated).
- will run freebsd / mysql
- total budget $10k.
What we dont know:
- where to get a system as described above. (we could go the dell/hp/ibm etc solution route but having a custom system build on specs is an option too.. you tell me).
- less important: what would be the best way to set it up (specificly the RAID setup and server duplication).
* Important detail: customer is based in europe and wants to be able to purchase the hardware local.
if you are 100% psoitive you can put a setup for us on paper drop me an email:
