I wonder how many Racks would there be after the total Cloud Exit from Basecamp. It is a nice way to think about scale.
The whole business that used to be 1/5 of the size 10 years ago were running on 100s of racks. And today it could be less than 10.
- mindcrash 2y agoDavid wrote about that earlier. They are running on just about 8 racks in each DC (and they use 2). That might exclude the new Pure Storage setup, though. https://world.hey.com/dhh/we-stand-to-save-7m-over-five-years-from-our-cloud-exit-53996caa https://world.hey.com/dhh/we-stand-to-save-7m-over-five-year...
- ksec 2y agoI think the Pure Storage is at best half a rack. I dont think it is 8 rack per DC, it is 4 rack per DC. >We currently spend about $60,000/month on eight dedicated racks between our two data centers And they are only doing 64 Core. We will have 256 Zen 6 core next year. And it seems by next year, if they were willing to pay for density they could have fitted everything inside one rack per DC. Exciting times. Edit: Actually if Intel were to push 18A on server it would make performance / density even better.
