Server Specification

[Ian Tidy]

Hi All,

I am looking into purchasing a new production server to run MapServer
on, and I am looking for some specifications.

Our current server has a 3GHz Xeon Processor, 1 GB RAM, a mirrored pair
of 36GB Drives, running Ubuntu Linux (2.6.x kernel) .  I have hyper
threading turned off.

Our memory usage is up over 95% all the time, so I obviously need more
RAM.  We are looking to improve the session start-up time (I know part
of this is the PHP interface / Java Applet and we are working on that),
and we want to improve the map rendering and searching time.  Currently
all our vector data is stored in shape files.

Cheers Ian
