Hi, I'm thinking of upgrading our ASL 3.x box (Dell 350, 800MHz pIII) to something which will run 5.x w/ 3-6Mbits HTTP traffic on our web servers, with IPS & full accounting, and possibly a low-traffic, occasional use, VPN.
I've noticed none of the Dell servers in the HCL are currently available.
Need a 1U box, so for Dell, that currently means one of the following:
PE1850 (too expensive)
PE SC1425 (SATA, 1 or 2 Xeons)(hyperthreading?)(no nics??)
PE750 (SATA, 1 P4 CPU)
Or, HP:
DL140 (Dual Xeon)(This is on HCL)
DL145 (Dual Opteron, IDE/ATA100)
DL320 (IDE/ATA 100, P4)
DL360 w/ SATA (1-2 Xeons)
Anyone tried any of these servers?
Any feeling as to which is faster for ASL:
Dual Opteron
or
Dual Xeon w/ HT
?
I know the Opteron is generally faster at a lot of things but dunno about ASL, esp compared to Dual + HT.
Thanks,
Barry
