Hardware Upgrade (30.12.2011.)

Server is online. Please change your realmlist to set realmlist logon.wotlkserver.com . If you have problems with the realmlist above, use set realmlist 176.9.79.169



We currently have barely any load on the roots, but the current hardware has been years under heavy usage and the OS needs to be updated soon. So we thought it wouldn't hurt to get something "fresh".



The technical specifications of the new server are the following:



Intel® Xeon Processor E3-1245 (8x 3,7 GHz)
16GB ECC High Performance RAM
2x 3TB Enterprise Server HDDs
3ware Hardware Raid Controller (Set to Raid 1 ofc)
Intel Gbit Ethernet card



Here is a small benchmark example to show how fast the machine is, the results are especially interesting for the DB server:



Timing cached reads: 27672 MB in 2.00 seconds = 13852.30 MB/sec

Timing buffered disk reads: 576 MB in 3.00 seconds = 191.94 MB/sec


The advantages of the hardware upgrade are the following:



Lower costs to ensure a long server lifetime with less donations
A big performance increase so the server is able to hold more players at once
Easier maintenance
Higher security due to the OS update and related file / user permission changes
Update can be installed in less time because the HW is able to compile the software faster

Happy Holidays!

Shadowburn WoW Staff wishes all our community members happy holidays!



May you spend holidays in peace and happiness! :)
