Web App Server hardware question. Which configuration?
- by JBeckton
I am pricing some new servers and I am not sure which configuration to get. The server will be running some web applications for our company. Some of them are ASP.Net sites and some are ColdFusion.
The OS will be Win Server 2008 Web or Standard Edition.
Do I need 2 processors or will a single quad core handle it?
Xeon multi core Hyperthreading or non Hyperthreading?
I am going 64bit so I can go higher than 4 Gigs of Ram.
I am shopping at Dell and there are so many options, i do not want to get too much hardware and not use half of it because that would be a waste of money and I do not want to get too little and have to ask for more money to upgrade it later.
