    How many CSS/GMod/TF2 Servers can this dedi hold?

    Hello Forum,

    Were expanding our business into Source Servers and Im wondering how many source servers you think this dedi can hold.

    HP DL180 G6 /w 2x Intel Quad Core E5620
    4x1TB SATA2 HDD
    24GB DDR3 RAM
    RAID10 (Stripe + Mirror) HDD Array
    Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (2 CPU)
    1 x 1000Mbps Line
    4000 GB Bandwidth
    5 IP's.

    Regards,
    Dorkslayz.

    It will all depend on what sort of servers will be running, slot size etc. You can't just get a server and say "10 servers" because you could run 10 2 slots servers or 10 64 slot servers and it would vary greatly

    It's variable, but I will say your hard drive setup is probably overkill. A pair of drives in RAID 1 would very likely be sufficient.

    Ok, Lets say for example. 24 Slot servers.

    Can you tell me about the servers?

    You will not get an exact number to this question as there are too many variables involved with each game.

    Your best bet is to do some testing by setting up the game servers and filling them with differing amounts of players. This will give you a baseline to go by.

    Also keep in mind that clients will most likely be adding plugins to their servers. Plugins will also increase both ram and CPU usage.

    Gamers are very fickle people when it comes to performance of their server, and they also require a lot of technical support. So before you jump in head first make sure that you do some homework.

    Good luck with your new business venture!
