Is this true??

[yazrie]

One server can have 12Tb of storage...
using cpanel 9.2...7Tb for user and another 5 for var...
if this true....
this server will have traffic..? true or not??
Imaging...
7Tb....around 7000 user per server..
about system...
dual XEON 3.6GHz with EM64T...
10GB of DDRII 400MHz ECC-SDRAM..
how can 12Tb...
they use 4x 3ware 12port sata controller (250GBx12port per controller)
connection...
OC48 - 2.488Gbps at Texas,USA

If you are professional about server or web hosting..
Did this server will have traffic??

OK, I'm just trying to guess on what you're trying to ask but here's my reply. Hope it's what you're asking.

Yes it's true that a server can have 12TB of storage.

One thing tho... it would be extremely stupid to have so much space. If you have 7TB of storage and have about 7000 users, I can assure you that your server would be a turtle slow (unless nobody uses it). Traffic would be so heavy that sometimes the server (no matter the configuration) will not be able to handle such a load.

As for traffic, yes it's possible for the server to have traffic. The line that the server is using would have to be dedicated to the server itself as traffic from 7000 users is not a simple bit but a HUGE LOT.

I also seriously doubt that any servers would be good enough to hold 7000 users. Either you're looking for trouble or you're just waiting for a disaster to happen.

Either way, it's possible to have such a server but where's the logic in having it?

Hope that's what you're asking and that I did answer your question.

7000 users in 1 machine sounds crazy. 12TB, imagine one user using few megs of bandwidth and process in one time.

Where did you found this yazrie. Any URL?

[mizan]

We've client request for 700GB scsi hdd, 16gb ecc ram, and 4 xeon cpu. normally for gov application

[yazrie]

huhu...
so..
12Tb server are not suitable for 7000 user...
but...
if it used for 250~500 users....
around 28GB space per user....
what will happend...?

normally...
for shared hosting....
hao many users can be handle per server?
like you mizan...
700GB scsi....
how many clients you have for your server??

By logic, for example: I don't think a huge hard disk space installed with huge software and files are able to run & processed in a slow computer. So it should depends on your system hardware?

16gb ecc ram, and 4 xeon cpu

This is a high-end hardward so it shouldn't be a problem

Correct me if i'm wrong? Would be interested to know
