Neowin Server


Recommended Posts

The primary server is a Dual Xeon 2.8ghz, 4GB RAM, SCSI w/ RAID (unsure of the size, i think its 73GB).

And I believe 1TB+ of bandwith a month to boot. (If I remember correctly last time this was mentioned heh)

well, 6.2million visitors a day definitly takes a beating.

They are 73GB disks, but I'm not sure how many.

$250 a month for a Dual Xeon 2.8Ghz with 2GB of Ram, Dual SCSI disks, and 2000GB of bandwidth in a top quality datacenter is insane? :huh:

I think you need to some more research....

It was SATA but the fact that IDE pulls processing power from the CPU proved fatal for Neowin as it is HD intensive. SCSI has it's own procsessor, thus letting the two main ones do their job.

so the reason that neowin periodically slows way down is not because of shotty servers but because of huge traffic?

That and more than likely scripts/crons/backups and other various things that run at certain or entirely random times of the day.

why would they run backups n stuff during peak hours? i mean wouldnt it be more logical if they did this at like 3 AM?

When you have a worldwide community spanning all time zones, there really isn't a "more logical time", per se. Your 3 AM might be someone else's 5 PM.

Neowin is hosted in the USA.

Why is it mainly a UK site? You may as well say that it is Australian based on that logic, since they are up even ealier than you are. :blink:

Who wakes up when you go to bed, anyway?
