That's some serious hardware!
Now go out there and take some pictures! Want to see them in action so to speak.

I'm not very tech savy so for us laymen non-super geeks, please using a car reference, what is the comparison?
We going from a Fiesta to a Mustang?

We had a Ferrari 1985 288 GTO
We have a Ferrari 2011 599 GTO
Both great... both fast... the new one is just magic.
make sense?

think of it more going from a 96 mustang with 200k miles to a 2011 mustang with 10 miles

Tech**** the best **** ( in dev blogs you PERVS! ) \o/
Quite simply epic step forward , finally after what? 6 years the DB Failovers actually WORK as they're supposed to :)

I wish i could post that screen cap of Stan after sneaking into that trailer with internet....
But, I have so many questions about the hardware... like specific model numbers, firmware. More so to do with possible integration here at my office as we have a pretty large database and are looking to scale up our hardware as we are approaching saturation of it.
so any **** is good ****

Awesome stuff; I has an envy! However, would you mind translating some of that to units we can all relate to, like Library of Congresses per Second (LoC/S), maybe? "Actually, I enjoy this in the same vague, horrible way I enjoy watching the A-Team." - P. Opus |

Wow, didnt expect a response like that..
Well I guess the first few questions are we are currently doing the FC/IP (Fibre Chan over IP) and we are kinda limited in the I/O factor of around 30 that we have currently attached to 12 Dell Powervault 3610's ( ISCSI / FC/IP and FC ) and we are already maxing out the hardware and we are trying to get the next bang for out buck with going full FC but since this will be our first foray into the "Enterprise" level we are reading "blah blah blah" and dont really understand what we should be looking for of sorts. Now im not expecting you to give me a visio flowchart of the equipment or how its setup. But if you can say broad terminology that is well acceptable for growth of the next 2-3 years and allows for 1000-1500 ( ideally would like to have hardware that supports 2500-3000 to allow for growth) users concurrently hitting the database at any given time would mucho appreciated.

Edited by: Ban Doga on 24/03/2011 17:46:25 I remember that someone (CCP Explorer ?) said not so long ago, that the DB is not anywhere near its performance limit. So I'm really looking forward to seeing no performance improvements from this one.
I'm happy that you are happy, tho...

Most of us, geeks, would work for food to get our hands on that hardware, to be able to touch it with some very nasty thoughts ;) :D
I'll blow my head with a shotgun if I will not make it to the next Fanfest! --------------------------------------------------

First off... nothing over anything if you can do it... FC is the best bet for "Enterprise" like you said because of the session based communications and the potential for synchronous protection to redundant SAN controller. I am biased... this is my opinion but I avoid iSCSI unless forced but sharp object.
Next... direct connection or true SAN need to be decided on early. Direct connecting the disks is faster (like nano seconds only) but cheaper because you don't have to buy switches. BUT!!! When you run out of host ports and you need to get another system attached or accessing the LUNs, boy are you gonna miss those switches.
Next... SAS unless you know better. SAS is great! I love this stuff... cheaper than FC-SCSI and much better than SATA... best mid-ground disks. SSD's rock my socks but you will pay massively for them or you will get cheap ones and hate what you did later.
Last... Find the right performance metric. Concurrent users means lots to lots of people. I would suggest looking at your IOPS. A 12 drive tray of SAS usually nets 5-10K IOPS on normal workloads for a DB.
Hope that helps a little. All I can toss at you between beers at Fanfest :)

I would work just for boarding for CCP for the experience alone. I would work for free ( just pay for my housing / dont mind me going to the chef with a big take home tupperware box)

impressive wall of text, but unfortunely i can only come up with.
Try harder, Try again, u fail.
Why cause eve is still broken by lag, by unfair advantages, biased gm/dev.
And to the next obvious question why do i still play eve, well thats easy question Cause of the friends i have trough the community i'm in, in eve simple as that. I don't play it be cause its a cool awsome game that exciting and thrilling or cause i'm building up a corp or an alliance, all that is more or less broken either by faulty game mechanic's or simple bad choices by gm/dev@ccp public relation.
To put it simple i play eve to be able to sit on teamspeak and talk to my eve@buddies wich some of them have become irl@buddies, but eventually like everything else this group is becomimg smaller and smaller and then when there is no left ill quit too. If what not is, what is ?. |

Check the disk busy... CPU... um and other graphs in the blog... We dug deeper and found some bottlenecks recently.

I didn't say the DB is not running better now (it certainly is). I was just repeating what a CCP official said: the DB is not a bottleneck itself (I'll try to find the original statement on eve-search).
If your SOL nodes hit 100% CPU load your improved DB performance won't matter that much...
*EDIT* Reduced stress for the machines is great (especially for the ones in charge of the health of those servers), but how does this translate into perceived performance for the users?
