hardware donation
Jane Street has a spare server we would like to donate to the postgres
community. We originally planed to use it for one of our database clusters
and it matches exactly what we use in production at the moment.
Rough specs:
CPU: 8x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5570 @ 2.93GHz
MEM: 48GB
The server will probably be most interesting for the disks in it. That is
where we spend the largest amount of time optimizing (for sequential scan
speed in particular):
22x600GB disks in a Raid6+0 (Raid0 of 2x 10disk raid 6 arrays) + 2 spare
disks. Overall size 8.7 TB in that configuration.
Is this something the community would find useful? If so, who is the right
person to talk to about shipping/delivery?
Cheers,
Bene

Mark, we can use this in the performance farm, no?
I know I could use it for testing ...

Yes, we certainly can. I can be the contact for shipping/delivery. Thanks!

What is the RAID controller used in the server? That doesn't impact the
donation, I'm just trying to fit this one into my goals for finding
useful community performance testing equipment.
There are a good number of systems floating around the community with HP
controllers--I have even one myself now--but we could use more LSI Logic
and Adaptec based systems.

The server is already turned off and in our nyc office (I'm based in the
ldn one). But I'm pretty sure its a LSI MegaRAID SAS 9285.
