l
A physical, non-virtualized server. VMWare servers are great for reducing the numbers
of physical machines in your IT space, but they must share the hardware between each
other. While you can create a virtual machine that seems as powerful as a physical, it will
still be sharing hardware with any other virtual machines, and this will adversely affect
performance.
l
MySQL Database on a separate machine. MySQL's main possible bottleneck is file I/O,
and as such a high-performance setup will require this server to be on a separate
machine, ideally with a high-performance, low-latency hard drive. A Solid State Drive
(SSD) would be recommended.
l
High-Quality 16+ GB Ram.This is especially true when working with many server
instances ("speed units") running in parallel. The more parallel processing, the more
RAM is recommended.
l
4 or 8 physical cores. We're not talking Hyper-Threading here, but physical cores.
Hyper-Threading is great with small applications, but the overhead of "switching"
between the virtual cores, and the fact that, well, they're virtual, means the performance is
much lesser on high-power applications such as OL Connect. In short, a dual-core
processor with Hyper-Threading enabled is not equivalent to a quad-core processor.
