Bigbird and Sasquatch are on real hardware with 12GB of physical RAM, but the next upgrade will take each to 24 GB of RAM and 10Gbe interfaces facing the outside world. My internal processing machines are more modest, but the systems doing radar image creation are also pretty hefty to keep up with the load.
I'm a fan of virtualizing where it makes sense, but not more than that. Gerry Michael Dross wrote:
I run our LDM / NOAAPORT ingest on a HP DL380 G6 along with 6 other VM's running for about a year and have had no problems what so ever. I have migrated to virtualizing a lot of servers that do not require a lot of performance or disk I/O over the past year or so. It saves on power bills and makes administrating the system much easier.-MikeOn Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 10:54 AM, Wayne Gibson <gibson@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:gibson@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote:What are the specific concerns about running on a virtual machine? We are currently testing that combination right now. While I am not doing the actual sysadmin work, our staff has indicated there is plenty hardware to accomplish the task and lots of flexibility to allocate the necessary VM resources.

Wasn't really a big deal just something I noticed. I believe it was related to the hardware clock but I'm a user not an admin so I don't really remember the resolution since it was about a year ago now and was only testing. But the vm environment is nice for a quick setup, grab an ip off the switch and instant data... -- Eric M.
