asked on

what are the typical hardware parameters while building any unix server.

Can you please advice, what are the typical hardware parameters we need to consider while building unix servers for  any env.

Once we get to know the needed parameters, will tune them which suite to our env accordingy.

actually these are needed us to send specification for our hardware vendor.

please advice

thanks  for your update. actually am obligued to prepare to H/W specification from management for the new UNIX env they proposing.



as you said above

<<       (in which case you'd need fast disk access and probably also a fast CPU and plenty of RAM ...of disk space ... fast network throughput) etc      >>

as you see, the above snippet takenOut from ur reply, we are  expecting  such more/all  of parameters.

then as subsequent step,  based on requirement ,  will study the software certification matrix / and / expected load from users/ traffic, then we will tune each value of paramter accordingly.

till now, my experties is limited in UNIX , hence does not know about hardware parameters on which unix based servers usually built for production  purpose,  to prepare specification before sending to vendor.

Hope you are clear with the query am asking for .

Rindi is right.
You need to start with needs->choose software solution->choose OS platform->calculate HW configuration->select server HW.
Choosing the server is basically the last step in decision making for covering your needs.

ohh nice explanation.

to relate above,  to explain in that same language ...
I dont know more about the car. this is very new to me as I know just bike ride - two wheeler ,   therefore, i want to know  more/all PARTS of the any car, on which a typical car usually build. once I get to know all, I will tune each part of it to fit my requirement(  like  for small/long drive, load it should bear, ..etc )

Why only a grade of C? The info I gave is 100% correct and deserves a grade of A, based on the little information you gave us. To be able to give you a more accurate answer you MUST give us more detailed information on your actual requirements.
