    • 2 - Dual core AMD Opteron Processor 2.8 GHz (production system and cold backup)
    • 8 DAS SAS drives (2 OS raid 10, 6 Data disks RAID 10 for performance)
  • VMWare - We initially deployed the application servers on VMware, but the need for memory in future versions required more than a VM Guest could use at the time as Tomcat alone is configured to use 3 Gig.  Also at the time, VM had no support for multiprocessor, very limited memory and no 64 bit support.  By the time you allocate enough resources for guest, the host could be tapped out.  The front ends can be more cost effectively scaled by simply adding more lower cost application servers tuned to deliver web content.
