RAM upgrade is here! So I've finally reached my goal of 128GB. I now have a total of 152GB of RAM dedicated to virtual machines.

 

Nerd thread is nerd

 

ftfy.

 

You should register over at hardforums.net. They will make you their deity.

 

I think you meant "[H]ardforums".

 

That's awesome, but what are you going to do with 152GBs of VMs? I mean besides beat off to all of that RAM...

 

The most ram I have shoved into a blade server is 74GB. We only have 8 cores though so that is our biggest limitation.

 

I are proud. Servers they have gotten big.

I just configured a $450,000 HP DL980 G7.

80 cores and 1TB+ memory.

Not bad...

On a side note, the other day I found out that we are HP's biggest customer in Indiana. Which is sort of cool, until you remember we are in Indiana.

 

I wish I could afford to spend $450k on my own servers... I do manage over $500k/mo worth of AWS instances though.

 

I'm setting up few more boxes at my cage. I run a small hosting operation that has few paying customers but is mainly used for R&D.

 

Confusing math is confusing?

 

My goal was 128GB but I overshot and now have more then the original goal

 

the e-penor is strong in this thread.

 

Does anyone here need 1 million IOPS? Serious question.

 

You almost have more RAM than my computer has storage.

 

I could find a use for that much IO.

 

256 GB or go home

 

Soon enough!

 

Took 2 min to load and display pic - guess I don't have enough RAM
