Ok so anyone I have spoken to f2f knows what I mean. I cannot do the same as I used to, the views of my work env. I have to kinda keep limited to a degree. (I wish I could do more; well you know I would!) I am enjoying this environment, but it’s hard work. The structure is not the same; if it exists..
I can see how this will move forward; things will improve on the orga side; things will get better. It just takes some expirance to affect the change. And that is going to be affected by the new team. We are not in the same environment; we have exp. And we are not scared, infact we make others scared. We don’t mean to but we don’t see the logic. We see the disorganisation and we are scared. We want it to be more efficent.
And on life; well life. It’s a game, tomorrow is today and yesterday was today. (Sh1t that kinda makes sense.) Anyway ramble over, time for a roll-up and a bottle of beer.
I quite agree with you.

hi, Dan
I work for Flash-based SSD(Solid State Disk) company from Korea.
I have quite a bunch of questions regarding web server configuration but I don’t know where else turn to
if it’s not too much of trouble, can you enlighten me a little?
SSD is supposed to be very fast on Random Read IO (12,000IOPS@4KB) but poor on random Write speed (120IOPS@4KB)
I thought if one adopts SSD in their web server, one could reduce whole bunch of servers in their front end
since SSD can boost up the random access speed of web servers and in turns increase maxclient number per servers.
Whenever cache hit misses happens, SSD can cover the misses and boots up the speed of server.. I assume.
Is it making any sense?
do you have any opinion about how to utilize flash-based server?
Best regards
Robert

Hey Robert,
It is making sense but I don’t the web servers should be the focus, but of course it can help. The place were SSD is really going to help is with database servers. I can see massive benifits in using it there.
In the environment we have >12,000 Web servers. These do not have issues with IO on the disk at all, once the PHP OpCode cache is primed they hardly hit the disk. Where there are bottle necks are in the disk on DB servers, but until we can have >250GB SSD disks in RAID configs it’s not really an option.
Hit me up if you have any further questions. (I know I didn’t explain it that well
)
Cheers,
DanB.

Hello Cannon Ball,
(I know who you are
)
Indeed, and this was my first reactions post. I will of course update it with a more recent post with my view, maybe in the next week.
Cheers,
DanB.
