Number of dedicated servers on a HP DL360 G3

[Stinger]

Hey guys,

I have a server co-located in a data center and am starting to make use of it with some CS:Source dedicated servers. Currently I am running 3 dedicated servers with 18 player slots each. Two of them have been full at the same time and it was running perfect.

Just wondering what potential my hardware has;

I am using a HP DL360 G3 server; 3.0Hz Xeon Processor, 2.5GB of ram and 36.4GB 10k SCSI drives in a mirrored/striped array.

Bandwidth is not an issue as it’s in a data center. The Operating System is Server 2003.

Would I be able to easily run 4 dedicated servers, with 18 slots? (19 with 1 hidden reserved slot each)


Thanks

3.0Ghz / 533 / 2 cores by the looks of it.

sounds like a Xeon 601 1core with HT
use CPU-Z to be sure

You should be fine with 3 - 4 basic game servers on that machine. More specific processors would help, but I would think that you either have dual HT Xeons, or a single HT Xeon... Then again its possible you're just running dual non HT processors. There is was no dual core in the DL360 G3's

Sounds good; yeh you're right its a single core with HyperThreading.

eh, isn't that still a netburst based Xeon? than it's very bad, you will probably already get problems with a single 18 slot server. 4 are out of the question.

Dont believe so, its run fine so far with two 18 slot servers filled and a 3rd half full. Im leaving it at 3 servers for now; may look at making use of the 2nd CPU slot later if theres demand.
