Hardware upgrade for videotutorial.ro - behind the scenes

Hi friends, on-12 11 2009-our server was offline about 10 hours, between 12: 00 and 22: 00, this was due to a hardware upgrade done to improve services.
Because traffic increasingly greater videotutorial.ro this hardware upgrade no longer be postponed, changed the motherboard, processor and memory, less raid1 configuration that has been preserved.
The new components are the last generation and that's why the change took about 10 hours, in fact the whole operation should not take more than a minute 30 unfortunately took 10 hours due to numerous software updates that were necessary.
These changes have been made to avoid Crashes server videotutorial.ro recently received a number of increasingly more visitors, this time approaching 6000 videotutorial.ro unique visitors per day, these visitors 6000 average follow-3 5 video tutorials, if we talk about a simple website containing text and some images 6000 visitors can not put too high a server problem, but must be considered as video tutorials on this site can be viewed at quality, this multimedia content resources require a lot of hardware, software and bandwidth of course.
All components are the last generation when I say art I mean the processor and motherboard that was launched last month.
The processor has been changed from a Core2Duo I switched to a powerful Intel Xeon QuadCore X3450 that have the following specifications:

  • Socket LGA 1156
  • Multi-Core Quad-Core
  • Name Xeon X3450
  • Operating Frequency 2.66GHz
  • Turbo Frequency 3.20Ghz
  • L3 Cache 8MB
  • Manufacturing Tech 45 nm
  • Transistors 774 million
  • 64 bit Support Yes
  • Hyper-Threading Support Yes
  • Virtualization Technology Support Yes
  • Thermal Design Power 95W

To realize our CPU power will invite you to watch a small demo offered by those from Intel, our QuadCore processor with Hyper-Threading that is last in the demo.
DEMO MULTI CORE INTEL Hyper-Threading
The motherboard is manufactured by Intel chipset and can support up to 3420 32 DDR3 GB RAM.
For RAM upgrade I did a very, I went from the 4 2 800Mhz DDR8 Giga Giga DDR3 ECC (error corection control) 1333 Mhz.
These changes are intended to bring additional power and endurance especially during times when visitors come in large numbers videotutorial.ro.
Videotutorial.ro team apologizes for those who in day-12 11-2009 between the hours 12: 00 and 22: 00 could not access our site.
Thank you for understanding.

  19. Bv Hi there!
    Continued success!!

  20. but you pay and what components to be server pc???'d like to know myself how ram is on that drive that you descriso now!

    • Paul: But you pay and what components to be server pc??? Would like to know how I ram is on that drive that you descriso now!  

      You read the whole article nicely, as it was said in the article how many G of RAM the server has. See you find… aaa?

  21. and where do you keep this server? I mean I thought you just had a simple host to a company…

  22. I do not understand, the website server you hold your own?

    • gashu: And that server where you keep it? I mean I thought you just a host to a company ...  

      Dumitru: I do not understand, the website server you hold your own?  

      NO, we hold no server, it would not last a minute net 5 normal server is hosted in a data center professional people there that deal 24 / 7.
      We have a dedicated server housed them with a bandwidth 100 10 Mbps Mbps domestic and international.
      No provider can offer such a guaranteed bandwidth of a home user.
      Besides net is about many technical details that a data center to offer and that no one may have available at home.
      First time we've been on a shared hosting program (300-500 sites on a server), then I went on a virtual server (10-50 virtual machines on the physical server), in the summer we Device server ( an entire server for videotutorial.ro) and yesterday I did the upgrade above and soon hope to move forward, we will detail at the time, we do not like to talk before making something.
      The idea is that this project will go ahead.

  23. yes I found scz but I wasn't careful :) really 8GB ram… it's great…

    • dumitru32 said

      Paul: 8GB ram ... it's super ...

      It must marga well NFS

      • dumitru32:
        NFS must marga well :D   

        Do not work or play well on this server because it has dedicated video card, this card does not even have the PCIx 16, server motherboards do not need graphics performance that not even any graphical interface.
        Everything is done on a server in CLI (command line interface).
        No professional server has no graphical interface or dedicated video card, you have nothing to do with them, the servers have no DVD Writer or monitor, are placed in a rack (a special metal cabinet), sit in a special room (data center), these servers are in a thermally controlled environment, have all sorts of protections and are closed and monitored by cameras and security personnel, no one touches them for months and they only net current server nothing like a professional desktop.
        Certainly we talk about these issues and a video tutorial.

      You do not what to upgrade your board, possibly driver ... your card is pretty old and pretty lean, cost performance, if you want to play games you do not play but cost components that you can play, you need a decent processor E5200 Intel, for example, a video card good and very important for a good source for gaming video card that works for break and must be fed properly.

    Hello! What is Thermal Design Power?

    • TDP is a parameter that builders chips (CPU, chipset, controller) must take into account during the initial design.
      TDP desktop is not so important, maybe if you want to eat less.
      On the laptop, tablet or phone TDP is more important than any other parameter.
      TDP shows how much energy consume an average chip. That may consume more or less depending on how they use it.
      TDP tells us how hard it is heated chip. Critical issues on mobile devices. You do not want to build a phone that is heated?

      In short!
      TDP tell us how much they eat and how it can heat a chip.
      Careful!
      TDP not always indicate the actual values, a chip can consume more hardware if it has some bugs.

      A processor with a low TDP can consume less than one processor of the same class, but not better.

      Intel and AMD processors out on the market the same TDP different sites, and that to satisfy those who want low consumption, but also those who want performance.

      The ideal is to have a high-performance processor with a low TDP, unfortunately this can not be yet.

      If we take the same family processors with similar specifications:

      1. TDP processor with high performance but is consuming more and more difficult to be cooled (requires larger cooler).
      2. Processor with low TDP is easier to cold (stock cooler or passive), consume less but is not as fast as the one with higher TDP.
      I repeat:
      The above examples refer to the processors of the same family / generation and have similar specifications.
