Consolidating servers - advice needed on specs
We are considering to consolidate the customers on some of our older servers. For example, what do you think about putting these two older servers "together" into one consolidated newer server?
Old Server 1
- Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
- 8GB RAM
- 2x 500GB 7200 RPM drives in hardware RAID 1
- Average load of about 3.
Old Server 2
- Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66GHz
- 8GB RAM
- 2x 500GB 7200 RPM drives in hardware RAID 1
- Average load of about 3.
New Consolidated Server (Would contain customers from Old Server 1 and Old Server 2)
- Intel E3-1230v2 Quad Core (8 HT Cores) @ 3.3Ghz Per Core
- 16GB RAM
- 4x 900GB SAS 15K RPM drives in hardware RAID 10
Do you think the new consolidated server will be powerful enough?
