Eclipse.net

[Edu-IT]

I'm looking to find out what hardware those of you running Eclipse.net have it running on and what performance is like. We're looking to move to this and I need to price up some kit to run it on.

[glennda]

We run it inside a vm with a couple of CPU and 2gb ram - works nicely and is also open facing to the internet for the web parts.

[Edu-IT]

I was thinking perhaps one of these little HP servers?

[glennda]

Yeah im sure it would run it fine - it's pretty much just sql (2005) with an IIS front end

[Edu-IT]

Do you know what they're called?

 

Edit: ProLiant?

[glennda]

These ones?

 

HP ProLiant MicroServer at a glance - HP Small & Medium Business products

 

Or these ones

 

HP ProLiant ML115 Server series questions & answers - HP Large Enterprise Business products

[Edu-IT]

Those are the ones.

 

I'm thinking of something like this with more RAM? That way I could also run some other stuff on it, internal sites and such.

I don't see why not - ours is used by two pc's in the library with the Web - parts accessible by everyone from outside school aswell as inside on a machine with less processor capacity then that.

We run Eclipse.net on a VM with 2 cpu's, 4gb of ram and it flies well.

[Edu-IT]

So I'm thinking that HP ProLiant ML330 with an extra 2GB of RAM should serve well, even if if it's not running in a VM?

We are just about to make the Jump from Eclipse 2 too eclipse.net going to install on a Intel Xeon [email protected] with 4.00GB RAM. Upgraded to the Staff PC's in LRC to dual core Pentiums with 2GB RAM just waiting for a SQL server to be upgraded to 2008 should be this week sometime.

Thanks for all the advice! If anyone else has anything they think I need to know then please do pipe up!

As a side note, can you convert from Eclipse2 to Eclipse.net easily?

Yeah if I remember rightly, you can. I am sure I did it for 1 of the schools I used to work for. Think there is an upgrade section after the installation of Eclipse.net

[Edu-IT]

Great, thanks! I've asked MLS to be sure before I begin planning.
