Server requirements

    Hi all.
    Can you say which server will be suitable for my needs? About 4 Tb of data per year, 3 of them are generated by angiography, other 1 Tb by CT, MRI, radiography and scintigraphy. Data should be stored for 5 years, so 20 Tb capacity is necessary. What about CPU, memory? I read the manual and the entire forum, but didn’t find this information.

    Hi,


    any modern 4-core cpu would do, get a 64 bit windows OS and lets say 16 GB of memory. I would put MySQL on the same box as database. If the server is heaviliy loaded with users, it may be useful to get additional cores.

    Could you also state the requirements for some simple tests that only contain a few studies/series/images?
    We set up an Ubuntu box at rackspace, but apparently 250mb of memory we ordered is not enough as I get an instance of std::bad_alloc thrown at me when I try to connect to the conquest. Can we get by with 1GB, or is this way to little, too?


    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Roger,


    Sorry I missed your post (had not seen the approval sign). I would think that 250 mb is enough. Typically with sqlite dgate uses maybe 20 mb or so. For such a small system I would, however, not use mysql. You can try running dgate --checklargestmalloc: it will tell you how much space there is after conquest is started (e.g., 250 mb - OS - conquest useage).
