What server HP would you choose for ESX?

At the present time, I have in my main site, two ESX 3.5 Enterprise servers. They are the two boxes of HP Proliant DL585 G2 with dual processor Opteron 8218 (dual-core) and 32GB DRAM. I am (or was) running of VMotion. Each host has about 12 people. All guests are Windows servers.

I think I need to add a third server. I have a quad core DL580 G3 who is sitting here doing nothing. I can also buy something. I wonder if I should continue to buy less of big servers like the DL500 series or several small servers as the DL300 series. I think to go with a dual processor (quad core) DL585 G5 with 64 GB of RAM. ESX license fees would be less if I go with the 500 series, I guess. I guess because I'd be able to run more customers for each host with the same license fees. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You pay by used socket so it is an acceptable model.  I actually did this at my previous job.  I ordered a DL-585 and used 2 x QC processors and 64 GB of memory.

Have you looked at the new DL 385 G5P?   They have 16 memory locations.  4GB DIMM is pretty cheap, so you could reasonably get 64 GB of memory in it.

  • What material you choose for a new server

    Hello everyone.

    I intend to set up a new server at home, mainly for use with ESXi 4, but perhaps also use it (with a different, without the use of ESXi HARD disk) as video occasional treatment / game machine.

    My main concern at the moment is the part of the equation ESXi. The plan is to have no more than 10 virtual machines running simultaneously (a mixture of servers windows and linux workstations, windows) for development and testing. I'm not under a Bank, so it is not crucial for the system until 24 x 7, but I need a fast and reliable system to work with (as inexpensive as possible though). I searched around for the material, but I must say that I am a bit confused. I am open to proposals from scratch, but here's what I've found so far and the questions I have.

    1. a single i5 or i7 processor will be enough? How many virtual machines an i7 CPU can manage without the feeling that you are using a 1st generation Pentium? I don't know of virtual machines running large databases and development tools (Visual Studio mainly). It would be best to use a double connector MB Xeon or it's too? My choice would be something between i7 - 930 and dual Xeon 5520 or 5620. Also, I would be able to cover future needs (i.e. it would be nice to not throw the entire system 5 years from now, for having been too slow).

    2. I think using a dedicated raid controller (specifically Adaptec RAID 5805) but with SATA disks (4x1TB in RAID50) or maybe 6x1TB in RAID60. It would be a good solution (in speed)? Should I start looking for solutions SAS?

    As you can imagine, the cost of all these components is a little high then if I have to make this move, I want to be as sure as possible that I have I don't get too small for my needs, but also that I have I don't get too. As I said before, I'm open to any suggestion.

    Thanks for any comment on this case.

    Relative to the CPU, it depends on your loads of comments.  But with SATA RAID, the bottleneck is much more likely to be there IMO.

    FWIW, two quad-core Nehalem servers are sometimes "nominal" to 30 virtual machines, but without knowing the charge is pure speculation.

    If you are looking to deploy 1 vCPU customer, a unique quad will most likely very well.  Using vSMP translates into more physical cores (or at least hyperthreading) being necessary to avoid CPU scheduling delays.

    Re disc - Yes each LUN has a maximum size of (2 TB - 512 bytes).  You can create a very large data warehouses using extensions (or simply use several data warehouses), but the underlying storage MUST be able to present the LUN meets the criteria of 2 TB.  While most of the RAID controllers will provide more than one set of RAID-5 LUN, a lot will not be permitted RAID-10 to split, where my comment.  Of course, you should check the documentation for any controller you choose on this point, but it's something to know.

  • What font would you recommend for a University newspaper?

    I created a new design for my University newspaper. What font do you recommend, and what style exactly?

    I would be happy to know your opinion and maybe even some still useful advice, since this is the first time I'm designing of a newspaper (I use InDesign CS3)

    Thank you

    Tom

    But seriously. For a newspaper, I would avoid without font ("Arial", Helvetica, universe, myriad). Why not try some of the rich classics? A few of them come on the InDesign DVD, but I don't know which. Minion Pro is a very nice, but perhaps too modern. Try Jenson Pro, Caslon Pro or Adobe Garamond Pro. The 'Pro' means that these fonts have extended features, such as the former graphic ornaments (very pretty when used in the proper context!), style old numbering and true small capitals.

    Use a classic police will be your journal gives a very high class look. For a large page, you can use columns of three (or four); even on a smaller size of the page, two columns look better than one. It also gives you the advantage of having guidelines for one, one-and-a-half, two or even three images wide column and headlines. Try to go to a fully justified text; tinkering with hyphenation settings until it looks right (I think that default ID parameters are okay for the fairly narrow columns). Use a lot of spacing; This guy don't like being cramped.

    Use small caps to the recurring titles such as "CALENDAR"; 'FORUM '. 'LETTERS '. "EDITORIAL". Good headlines, you have the choice of what whether normal type (in a really huge size) bold or italic. Focus on columns for that look of the 18th century

    Whatever you do, don't run amok with different fonts! Use a font exclusively for texts 'main '; Use it in a smaller size for the "lesser" texts, such as the photo captions, tables or 'notes '. Don't let someone tell you about in screaming headlines! ; Once you decide on a design, stick and defend when necessary.

  • If you choose for online backups rman, what a $ORACLE_HOME

    Hello ladies.

    I am rewriting our backup procedure. I learned that shortly the company will need the backups online (for the moment, we have the luxury of a backup of cold 03:00).

    I would like to use rman, must justify the vultures/managers and why it is preferable to managed user online backup. Managed backup of said user would put the db in backup, then instant mode the registrants concerned.

    The only problem I see with rman to date is that (so I read it) the utility won't save the binary / configuration files - that is to say the $ORACLE_HOME.

    Is this true? If so, the corner of rman falls a point. Does anyone out there use rman for onlines? If so, how do you take care of your $ORACLE_HOME? I was thinking a user managed weekly export or something like that.

    Seriously, I would start again using rman.

    Thank you.

  • What server platform do you use?

    I was really struggling, during the last two weeks with my Wamp server platform.  It seemed that no matter what I tried, I couldn't ever have things to work locally.  I would post the code to GoDaddy and everything would work fine, but it would just never work locally.  And then someone on the forums of Wamp tells me that I have such a hard time with e-mail forms because Wamp does not support e-mail.  (?!)   It certainly would have been nice to know.  So, to get to the point, I'm looking to install a new server platform and I certainly don't want to find things the hard way.  What is the best, all-inclusive, easy to install/use there server platform?  I did a little research and Web Developer Server Suite looks like a possibility.

    Any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Either way, I need one that works with PHP

    The real question is ' what have you been faced with?

    It seems that your real problem is that you tried to test email. The simple fact is that no local PHP server must be supported by e-mail, at least not directly out of the box. The reason is very simple. PHP mail() hands function simply mail to the local server (MTA) mail transport agent. Apart from delivery to the MTA, PHP is not involved in sending the mail. Your problem is that Windows computers do not have an MTA. In the past, you could configure php.ini to send the mail to the SMTP server of your ISP. However, the proliferation of spam means that the ISP now blocks mail that comes from an unidentified source. SMTP servers usually require a user name and password, but the mail() function does not support SMTP authentication.

    Bottom line: unless you have the skills and patience to install and configure an MTA on your local computer, how to test the mail() function is to download the script on your remote server. Sending email is about the only aspect of the PHP that cannot easily be tested locally. Forget the search for an alternative, unless you are having other problems with WAMP.

  • Which supplier Source control would you recommend for a single developer on a labVIEW project moderately important

    I have not used a front Source control provider.  My hope is that I don't have to deal with a large learning curve in using the basic features of a source control provider.

    Also curious is the most popular provider used by LabVIEW developers.

    Thank you.

    If you are getting started with Subversion (Tortoise SVN is the 'client' to a Subversion server), you have the choice between three options:

    1. Use a server Subversion maintained by your company or your University.  (I, fortunately, put at my disposal one).
    2. Use a commercial Subversion server.
    3. 'Rolling' (which means that the other host a server yourself, on your PC or on another PC, or simply use a 'local' repository).

    I listed them in the following order (according to me) that it is "desirable".  I, myself, would be enough worked to avoid Option 3, because it puts all the "eggs in one basket', in other words, you must assume the responsibility of not only keep your code Committed/updated the repository, but you must keep secure, backed up repository, and 'remote' (if your house burns down and the external unit containing the repository also goes up in flames you lost everything).

    I recently started a collaboration with a colleague in the Canada.  Because of institutional policies, I couldn't access our server local to Subversion, but found that assembled (www.assembla.com) offered a Subversion server access at a reasonable cost.

    Once you have identified a server, get your created repository and your project saved in the repository is not too difficult.  A practice I found works well is to organize the filing of LabVIEW, one project per repository projects, with the name of deposit is the name of the project.  I have adopted the model of trunk/branches/tags subfolder for the repository (i.e. the filing "Of Bob Project" will have a trunk, a branches and a subfolder of tags), with most of the activity taking place in the trunk.  I try to use the branches almost never, but that's another story.

    There are a number of tools to put "hooks" in Subversion in LabVIEW.  My personal preference is to do all my work of Subversion at the level of the Explorer of Windows files, validation and updating of entire projects to the end and beginning of work sessions (commit to the end, updated at the beginning).

  • What program CC do you recommend for viewing and organizing videos?

    Quick history: I have more a TB of family video clips.  Some are mine, some are old family movies transferred from the 1960s and others are video clips taken during the meetings and weddings of members of the family who chose to get something from them. I did the photography for years and use Lightroom & Photoshop.  Now with my CC account I've been teaching myself how to use first Pro, so I can start working on this family project.

    Question:  I'm looking for the equivalent of Lightroom for the video.  A program I can use to import my clips, rename, organize, see metadata, discovers, perhaps minor edition & trimming, rate/flag, and (perhaps more importantly) to allow a kind of keyword tagging.  Then open for more extensive editing in Premiere Pro.  It would be great if, like Lightroom, the finished project could then be exported in finished format I need.

    What I tried: I understand that Lightroom can import video, I tried with a sample of clips, but found LR limited to work with videos (which makes sense).  There are many programs CC that I do not know the function of.  I read a little on the prelude, but I can't find a recent tutorial on Lynda.com; I tried searching "Adobe Prelude", but that only turned up prelude CS6 workshops April 2012?  This makes me wonder if the program of the prelude is not very popular because tutorials of his updated version are not available or in high demand? (Research on Lynda.com for 'Adobe Prelude CC 2014' nothing found).

    So that's where I thought the Adobe community would be an excellent resource.  What are 'video people' out there to help?  And that I should stay away from?  thank you so anyone who can take the time to share their expertise and help me launch this project on the right foot.

    The question of change of naming conventions and/or native folder hierarchy has little to do with the solid state media and everything to do with the data container and header that connects audio/video broadcasts with metadata, allowing the content or the 'essence of media' decoded properly and play.  Is the reason to use a tool like prelude or first media browser or even bridge or Lightroom or a third-party tool like metafuze or shotputpro or software format camera record dedicated like sony xdcam clipbrowser or panasonic p2 browser, redcine x, ect, as these tools are designed to analyze A decision-making / changes correctly syntaxed data and make sure v metadata is integrated directly in the media or in the prelude and first case container can also be enrolled in a sidecar XMP file, which is a flavor of XML that contains all the metadata of original capture associated as well as changes or additions made through these tools.

    Hazards come into play when the file changes native naming convention or a folder hierarchy are are directly on the content of media via the finder on mac or explorer Windows, any change at this level can break the relationship between the metadata stream and the essence of media, because changes are not written to the metadata or content of the headers or dealt with in a manner known as transmuxing...

    Media browser prelude & first time allow the search in the native files safe and destructive amending either the metadata related to the indigenous media or also allows a transcoding to do which will be then to copy or recreate a new media file in any format selected and a new metadata stream.

    Prelude is a nice utility and Media Browser of first a great tool to organize, edit and selectively ingesting media and or meetings and selects fast.

  • should what frequency of frames I choose for iOS devices?

    Hello

    I have my project at 60 fps. everything seems smooth and fine in the test on the iphone 4S.
    I don't have a 3G to test on yet, do I leave the framerate 60 fps for 3g or lower it?
    I don't really understand how to determine what to set the framerate for best performance or even if it's important.
    Just after some clarification on what should be set the framerate.
    Thank you

    Yes exit is the same as without debugging

    Well, I finally get your question.

    The idea is to keep to the fps value that meets your needs. With the help of a value greater than that wastes resources. A simple example would be the execution of an application at 60 fps which is an enterprise application that is obviously useless. For your scrolling usecase, if your performance requirement is 40 fps then continue framerate at 40. Now two things can happen your device will have enough juice to run at 40 fps or he won't. If she has juice, he will be at 40 fps no problem. But if it doesn't have enough juice, then it didn't and causes stuttering. In one such case raising the framerate to 60 will be useless, because this relatively slower device could not scroll down to 40 fps, no chance of it to scroll at 60 fps. You shouldn't have to worry yourself to maintain the rate of different display for various devices. Keep the framerate to a value that meets your need, if the underlying device can play to the fps will play it, otherwise it will be stutter.

    To answer your original question, no you can not get more smooth scrolling on a lower rate.

Things like: set the language of the document, set the tab on each page order, incorporate fonts, add extract metadata PDF/UA, set the initial view to display the bookmarks and the title of the document, etc.
