On what system does the AH Server run?

Hardwareconfig and OS.

All the game servers are Xeon based.  Solaris is used for the OS.

With Solaris, I'm truly surprised...must be v10 pre-Oracle.

I have never had a Solaris box crash.  Then again, most of that has to do with proper configuration and the hardware used.  I have never had any UNIX based box crash and I think I have used every version available over the last 20+ years, starting with UNIX v6.

It could also be I have been doing this for so long, I take for granted all the things I do to configure a UNIX box.

Skuzzy, Sun or HP Systems?

Solaris 10 or the older Solaris 9 or even dare I say it 8? :)


I am a system engineer working for Sun and everyday I throw out tons of "old" hardware, is HTC in need of some hw that could boost the performace on titanic?  :D

The server running Titanic has no issues with keeping up with the load.  Worse case it hits about 1.2% utilization.

I built all the servers we use.  All based on some form of a SuperMicro motherboard.  All with wide Seagate SCSI Cheetah HD's.

I would be happier if AT&T would upgrade the LAN to 1Gb.  That would help more than anything else.

as is evident...I'm not too much of a computer knowledgeable guy...sadly... but I always wondered...when I used to work at radio stations back in the day...most always had triple redundancy in the event of service outages....  does aces high have that kind of thing too?

We have a gang of servers at the colo facility.  If any one of the servers is not able to handle its load, for whatever reason, we can move the arenas around to accomodate it.  That is all done remotely.

Wow.  Your CPU use is very, very low.  So network bandwidth is your only real "limit" ?

Not entirely.  We are more packet bound than data bound on the LAN. 

The real problem is the Internet itself.
