hello?

no reply?

Seeing as its not something all that critical newmem you might want to give Brad and co a chance to get the dll upgrades, IP renumbering, rebuild of nt26 & nt27 out of the way first and then give them a reminder. Looks like they got enough on their hands right now .

[newmem]

I know their hands are full rite now.....but I think for adding these to the monitor they only need to do a few clicks.

bcos what if NT28 goes down? the siren won't go off and my site will remain down......

[Brangwyn]

True, but we (well Vortech) actually managed ok before we even had monitoring of any sort available too which is why I don't think it's something thats super super urgent.

It's been months since we last deployed anything that was not a P4.

NT28 is a dual 2.4GHz Xeon with 1GB of RAM and 72GB of drive space. That CPU/RAM configuration is the minimum for all new web, mail and SQL servers.

[newmem]

that's great.....but I thought 2 GB RAM was standard......

[TNV]

Yea but on windows its over kill IIS will die before it can use 1GB really and with nothing else running on there its really just a waste..

[newmem]

rite now there may be few but more sites will be added on NT28.....

[Brangwyn]

1GB is enough for IIS usually newmem, unless all sites are set to 100,000 page performance or more (increased caching basically) 300-400 domains would be lucky to be using half of that (though IIS will allocate more than it's actually using anyway).

heck I've run 30 domains off a box with 128Mb on it before and folks were happy with the performance
