Which "commodity server" could serve 2GB/s(16gbps) to public internet?
- jleahy 5y agoPretty much anything. How about a Dell R340 with a dual-10G NIC and some SSDs? That's not commodity, that's cheap, a commodity server would be a dual-Xeon but that's overkill for serving 16gbps.
- ksec 5y agoI think that is the problem with modern day's Web Dev. ( Sorry ) With Cloud and SaaS. They are so abstracted from Hardware that their knowledge on basic hardware and server, everything from CPU, Storage I/O and Network are close to zero.
- virtuallynathan 5y agoAt Netflix we’re doing close to 400Gbps on 1U commodity hardware, and pretty inexpensive.
- ksec 5y agoAnd that is 400Gbps encrypted! Side Note, aren't they 2U?
- virtuallynathan 5y agoYep! All TLS. The production boxes are 2U, but it can be done in a 1U box.
