"If the need ever arose where I needed to design a server, I would know how to do it effortlessly. If somewhere in my game development I was at the point at where I needed to decide what hardware to buy I would know effortlessly. If i needed to setup this server I would know how to easily." - Sinist
"I would do it for free and I would do it just as good as you." - Sinist
Plus the general impression you give that you think CCP are a bunch of muppets who wouldn't know one end of a computer from the other.
Zeltar you should add->

The world is one barter and I could of bought servers ALOT cheaper that are the absolute top of the line for what IBM gave you with money to spare. And I could run and maintain those servers as one person.

You seem to believe that you could single handedly do a far better job of specifying, building and maintaining a server cluster than the whole of the CCP and IBM team put together, despite knowing very little about their requirements. THAT makes you arrogant.

Okay, so Sinist appears to have removed all his posts, hopefully because he realised what a complete fool he was making of himself. I guess most of this thread now makes very little sense.
Ah well, time for bed.

I never said that. I said I know how to put together a computer. I know how to setup SCSI's and servers. I never said I could do it better. IBM is one of my favorite companies. I am using a IBM hardrive right now. The first ever computer I liked was my IBM computer (like the model before the pentium 1) and then my actual pentium 1 and then my pentium 2 was really good. Yes IBM made computer systems way back when and they were my favorite company. IBM's version of DOS owned.
Suggestions?: Maybe IBM can improve on their memory. PC2100 is over 3 years old. I actually use it in my computer as we speak and this computer is 3 years old. It has a mhz rating of 266. The newer memory types available are high as 333mhz. I know that the 366mhz models dont support ECC bc of the newer chipsets but maybe that could be something IBM could revolutionize.
So can I take 1 thing away from IBM? No. And yeah im an idiot but theoretically CCP maybe could of got a little extra performance had they went with a different motherboard solution and RAM, but maybe would of sacrificed the reliability and warranty IBM provides. Im confident in IBM though and I like CCP even more for using them. I cant deny my years and years of love for IBM.
My apologies and much <3 for CCP and IBM.

Not to add fuel to this fire to much, but Tyan boards only support upto 24 GB of RAM, that alone may have excluded them. With large database applications, such as EVE with its massive database and performance requirements, it simply may not have been enough. Raw CPU isn't everything, RAM access time isn't everything, nor is bus speed. The most common database bottleneck in enterprise sized databases is available RAM for caching and network speed, not CPU, RAM speed or bus speed. All things being equal or even not, a databas that can live in RAM will typically operate upto 10x times faster then one that is mostly on a drive. Also, fault protection, fault monitoring, failover capabilities, scalability, warranties, and support SLA's are very important, all of which IBM has in abundance.
Another guys 2cents.

Quote from CCP
"We will also upgrade the servers in our SQL cluster with 2 IBM xSeries 445 bricks. Each configured with 4 Intel Xeon 3.0GHz processors and 16GB of RAM."
and
"In the second phase we will add a bunch of SOL application servers. They are IBM xSeries 335 all configured with 2 Intel Xeon 2.8GHz processors and 2.5GB of RAM."
To me their memory seems a bit on the minimum. Its great that they are using pc2100 ECC registered bc its my favorite memory and is the best in my opinion but they need more of it in my opinion. It couldnt hurt. When they support the registered memory for DDR3 then upgrade again.
I would probably assume this upgrade came at the time that PCI-X was released obviously and thats really good. Id like to see more memory though even if you dont think you need it. Would make me sleep better knowing Eve has adequate hardware. 
IBM is obviously more scalable then the TYAN for example, but the Tyan does theoretically offer better performance for what EVe is using currently (Under 24GB of RAM for their nodes). IBM is the superior right now, I just would like to see the memory scaled a bit(doubled).

Maybe it is 16 now, but they may want to have the option of 32 or 64 later, without having to buy all new hardware...again.

Still getting horrid performance here.
Lots of lag last night, and I just got booted 3 times in 5 mins just after start-up. How is everyone else faring?
I'm in New York City btw.
Maybe the hardware discussion can start another thread?

Once connected I'm booted within a couple minutes now.
Any troubleshooting suggestions?

Unplayable right now.
Server check times out sometimes, getting characters can take minutes, if it ever completes. I moved 59km at 400m/s before eve noticed I had my autopilot activated, etc...

I had a few CTD's when I was on last night plus the market seemed slower. I don't know much about these server upgrade things but I do know that a fresh install of XP on my machine take a "little while" to settle down. Guess this is the same but on a slightly bigger scale

Weird. A _WHOLE_ lot better now. Logging took more like 10 seconds (from password to char selected) instead of 5 minutes. Warping was also as usual.
