spek buat server

halo semuanya, salam kenal.

saya mau nanya nih, kantorku mo nyari PC rakitan buat dipake sebagai server (hidup 24 jam non stop). aplikasinya berhubungan sekali dengan internet, dan semua pc di kantor akan mengakses lewat server ini (ada sekitar 100 pc)
jadi, saya perlu spesifikasi yg tinggi agar aksesnya cepet dan stabil. sengaja gak milih pc server karena repot perawatannya (yg dulu2 rusak power supply aja mesti indent ke mereka).
gak perlu vga dan sound card yg tinggi (onboard ga masalah), yg penting harus prosesor Intel Family (XEON ??), dengan lan cardnya PCI dan harga gak masalah, yg penting kinerjanya SANGAT memuaskan.
jadi tolong bagi rekan2 yg tau bisa bantu ngasih spesifikasi yg lengkap (detail) apa aja yg dibutuhkan (termasuk psu, casing shg sirkulasi udaranya jg bagus)

terima kasih atas perhatian dan bantuannya

Gile.. nyari high end juga.. coba liat thread processor deh kayaknya disitu ada, siapa tau bisa terinspirasi

high end sih enggak, yg penting performancenya bagus buat server.
tapi harganya juga jangan mahal sekali (kisarannya 10 - 15 jt)
hardisknya 40 Gb cukup (saya denger ada diatas 7200 rpm ?), memori 1 atau 2 Gb (DDR ??). absolutely ga perlu vga ato SC bagus.

saya udah lama sekali ga ngikutin perkembangan komputer, jadi buta ama produk2 terbaru. makanya sekarang lagi bingung nih milih speknya.

NB: wah yg di thread proc terlalu multimedia. kayanya bukan spek yg saya cari

Intel XEON Nocona (lupa speednya brp)
Mobonya juga lupa
RAMnya 2GB
Harddisknya SCSI Raid...mau untuk apa ya servernya??

Server kayaknya sekarang yang pegang masih Opteron de.. Xeon masih kalah jauh sama Opteron untuk multi processor. Lain halnya kalo anda memang mau menggunakan single processor dan nggak ada rencana upgrade ke dual, Nocona boleh. Apalagi ditambah fakta bahwa Intel punya nggak bisa dual core, dan AMD sudah dual core ready seperti yang dipamerkan dulu sama IBM dan HP. Kalau mau lebih baik, bisa cari IWill yang modular. Dia support HTX connector. HTX itu HyperTransport connector. AMD kan sudah nggak pake FSB, nah HyperTransport dia itu bisa dirouting ke peripheral lain.
Sekarang rada susah cari server Intel, soalnya semua vendor sudah pindah ke AMD, kecuali Dell. HP/Compaq, IBM, Sun, Cray, BOXX, dan lain lain semua sudah promosi AMD. Termasuk vendor mainboard seperti Tyan, IWill, ASUS, dan MSI.

The single-CPU scores fell slightly below those of Intel's best. However, the dual- and quad-CPU configurations were another story altogether. Below is the comparison of those systems: (Note: Itanium 2 shows four-way and 8-way systems)

If you look closely at the graph above, you'll note that the four-way Opteron nearly equals an 8-way Itanium 2 in terms of integer performance! That, in and of itself, says a mouthful about this architecture.

Terus, yang ini bagus banget buat reference server. Dari AcesHardware.

What may be even more impressive is that with so much going against it, AMD’s fastest Opteron 250 processors still not only manage to fend off the Xeon, but in some benchmarks, still can crush the latest and greatest from Intel with ease. While Intel may be the choice for content creation types, the Opteron still wallops the Xeon in terms of memory bandwidth/latency, number crunching, webserver performance, and media encoding. In all honestly, the Opteron system felt much smoother during our testing in comparison to the new Xeons, which we would tend to attribute to the Opteron’s on-die memory controller feature. If pure performance was your main goal of buying a new dual processor system, the Opteron 250 would still be our processor choice.

Dari Anandtech - http://www.anandtech.com/IT/showdoc.aspx?i=1982&p=10

Interestingly enough, while the new Gallatin Xeon MPs have a massive 4MB L3 cache, most of that cache will end up being used to keep traffic off of the bandwidth starved 400MHz FSB. The performance gap between the Opteron 848 and the Xeon MP is amplified significantly once you move to a 4-way setup; the Xeon's shared bus just can't cut it anymore, not at 400MHz. AMD's point-to-point Hyper Transport implementation helps extend their performance advantage significantly. An 8-way Opteron vs. Xeon comparison would not be pretty.

Game PC - http://www.gamepc.com/labs/view_cont...ookie%5Ftest=1

Not only are bandwidth levels higher, the efficiency of the memory modules greatly increases. For our dual-CPU / single-channel DDR (on each CPU) configuration with NUMA, our theoretical peak bandwidth level is 6.4 GB/s (3.2 GB/s single channel DDR for each CPU). With NUMA, the system is able to utilize 6.1 GB/s of the available bandwidth, leading for 96% memory efficiency - which is unheard of for a traditional dual CPU system. With our dual CPU / dual channel DDR system, our theoretical levels are 12.8 GB/s (6.4 GB/s dual channel DDR for each CPU). Our system is able to push roughly 10.0 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and while the efficiency is somewhat lowered compared to the lower capacity configuration, the bandwidth numbers are nothing short of astonishing.

Toms Hardware - http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/200...s_xeon-39.html

So, comparison AMD sama Intel di server itu udah nggak imbang.. Semua udah ke AMD. Dari architecture, memory, support, speed, scalability, sampe NUMA OS (Win2K3 Server) juga cuman bisa ambil advantage dari Opteron. Intel belum punya NUMA. Hanya processor kelas IBM Power5, SPARC, dan PA-RISC aja yang punya system NUMA (Non Unified Memory Architecture).

terima kasih banyak atas pencerahannya. ternyata memang saya udah ketinggalan banyak info selama ini

thx a lot

menurut g seh beli aja sever beneran , g pernah beli komp basis xenon tp seni sever akhirnya rusak , ternyata klip heatsink copot(kayak mobo jangrik bgt). akhir g pake sever "HP generasi 3" br beberapa bulan tp fasilitasnya ok bgt sistim silkulasinya ok. yang penting ruang server bebas debu dan dingin tp gak boleh lembab.
