I WANT! (and probably will get)


Base System Configuration:

• 4 x AMD Opteron 840+ w/1MB L2 cache
• 3 x 73GB SCSI Hard Disk (RAID5)
• RAID 1/0/5 or JBOD available depending on OS
• 4GB ECC DDR RAM
• Bandwidth: 1000 GB
• IP Addresses: 8 (5 usable)
• Private VLAN
• Number Of Servers: 1
• Basic Resource Monitoring.
• FreeBSD, Linux, Windows*
• 100% Self Managed and Dedicated.

Monthly Fee Options:
• Call For Price (Plus One-time Setup Fee of $79.00)

Things dreams are made of. The call for price, you know its going to be dear. All depends what you intend to do with so much processing power:D

If you call, PM me please.

Same here, I want to know how much I should save.

Tasty! But I'll bet there is a pretty big price tag attached ..

Let's guess the price.

I think $400/Month.

I think its more than that. $600 probably.

I think UltraUnix is probably closer, although it might be even more. Probably depends if you go on a contract or not.

It's $999.99 per month, including 10mbit unmetered.

:D That's a monster...

Wouldn't mind one of those as a db server... thats quite good pricing.

Almost as powerful as one of the 16GB RAM development servers I been working on.

I'd take 10 of their P4 2.8/1gb options indead personally :D

I think you have to be a little crazy to put all your eggs in one basket like that. $1000 per month adds up fast, and although, you would definetly have serious bragging rights for the Quad Opteron, I think you could spend that money in different manners and get yourself a more reliable and redundant solution.

Yeah, why not just get 2 dual opteron and load balance it?

Nah, just get 2 or 3 of those. That way your eggs are in 2 or 3 monster baskets. Sure it's a larger investment, but the returns (esp. bragging rights :D ) would be worth it.

Just a note guys. That the 'QUAD' comes in a 4U hot swap chassis with redundant power supplies going to seperate 20AMP strips and a RAID5 array. Redundant network uplinks could also be setup but would probally be pointless. Yes its big, bad and expensive but its also well made and meant to stay up for a good long time.

Thanks

Hi,

You never know with network uplinks, i've found being connected to two seperate switches saves a lot of downtime when one of the two decides its had enough.

Personally i think you'd get a more redundant setup with two servers, but sometimes something like SQL is so load intensive it needs a huge server to take the load.

Would be interesting to see how a quad opteron benchmarks compared to a dual opteron.

Really depends what you're looking for, but for the price and massive spec, i feel its a little too "off the shelf" ...

Wow, a Hot-swap chassis, how does that work, the motherboard is screwed onto the Rack? :P Just kidding.

I like layeredtech.com they are very stable and have a good network. I also like the planet too but most of the dc's in texas are good. I wish I could afford that server lol that would be boom
Thanks,
