Hardware
- 2000+ Servers in 2007
- ~6000 Servers in early 2008
- Plans to upgrade to ~10000 (?)
- 4 sims per machine, for both class 4 and class 5
- Used all-AMD for years, but are moving from the Opteron 270 to the Intel Xeon 5148
- The upgrade to “class 5″ servers doubled the RAM per machine from 2GB to 4GB and moved to a faster SATA disk
- Class 1 – 4 are on 100Mb with 1Gb uplinks to the core. Class 5 is on pure 1Gb
