Proper entreprise build for Zabbix Database Server
Hello world,
so here's my questions. Where I work, we've got a Zabbix server, proxy and a database server all running on different machines. Right now our bottleneck is mainly the database server, running on 4 x HDD drives at 10k RPM with a RAID Controller 410i on RAID 10 (1+0), we've got 1150 hosts, 36 658 items and 10 068 triggers enabled and working. We are working with Ubiquiti antennas aswell as our Zabbix servers, and currently looking to upgrade our database server since as I said before it is the bottleneck in our configuration.
A rater interesting used server which, has the configuration as listed below, is sold for $506.00 US has come to our minds.
Chassis: HP ProLiant DL360 G7 8-Port Chassis (150$)
CPU: 2 x GHz Hex-Core (6 cores, 12 threads) Intel Xeon Processor With 12MB Cache -- X5670 (2 x 60$)
RAM: 64GB Memory Upgrade Kit -- 8 x 8GB 2RX4 PC3-10600R -- 1333MHz (216$)
RAID: Smart Array P410i 1GB FBWC 0-60 RAID (20$)
PSU: (2) HP G7 G8 460 Watt PSU
And for the storage, well, this is quite the question, since the servers have always been using 10k RPM HDD we haven't tested anything using SSDs. So what would you recommend using as for SSDs, and is the configuration listed above any good for our purposes, what would you change and why? If you guys have any other question, let me know and i'll edit the post.
