BTW, as part of my IT downsizing in preparation for moving house, the stats server is now running as a virtual machine on a tiny Synology NAS. I may not have enough memory on this NAS to run it, in additional to a VM running 15 or so mail accounts and a three websites, so again, it may be temporary. Still, it's better than nothing! I'm happy to run your stats software on my virtual stack if you need to move it Dave? |

Good morning all
----------------------------------------Some impressive badges from during the Great Data Prohibiting Rumination of 18' Congratulations to all!! Ignoring the warm weather, now Dave's stats are collecting data I'm running all my machines to hit a high score - as I'll have to part with them soon. Would anyone here be interested in these? Gigabyte board - Xeon 2650L v4 ES 14core (28thread) Gigabyte board - 2648L v4 ES 16core (32thread) Supermicro x10 board running two 2628L v4's 24core total (48 thread) If so I'll write up some more specs, mates rates of course!
cheers,

I'm happy to run your stats software on my virtual stack if you need to move it Dave? Thanks for your kind offer reduk. The VM requires almost no resources, other than a very small MySQL/MariaDB database and enough memory to run Java. In theory, I can run both of those on my NAS, so I may at some point have a go at getting it running "natively", as it were, rather than in an Ubuntu VM. However, if I can't fit my mail server VM on my NAS I may take you up on your offer. Would you believe it, Synology include a free mail server, which is good for 5 users (ideal for home users, maybe). However, to license another 20 users costs about £800, I think. Not so ideal.

Morning all,
----------------------------------------Looking forwards to the German Grand Prix, Hamilton and Ricciardo have a lot of overtaking to do which should be fun. Good to have the stats back and being populated. It reappearance seems to have drawn out more cores from people and the team going past 4million points is the most I've seen in a day. Nice one Dave!!  @reduk, for team points I think you're only 1 month off being numero uno!!  unless mmj joins in the fun too of course!
cheers,

@reduk, for team points I think you're only 1 month off being numero uno!! unless mmj joins in the fun too of course!@mac1, fingers crossed although I've got a couple of DL360 gen8's which I'm going to have to turn over to real work soon :-( @dcrobinson, no worries.. I like Synology's stuff but generally stick with HP for work.. am currently experimenting with MSA-2050's running Samsung PM1633a 2tb enterprise SSD's to replace my aging EVA's. I have to say the performance is stunning, random read @ 200 KIOPS & write at 35 KIOPS |

I have to say the performance is stunning, random read @ 200 KIOPS & write at 35 KIOPS I love the sound of those 2TB SSD's. A pair of the 15TB ones, at £8,400 each would do nicely in my NAS...although there is the small matter of them a) not fitting, and b) requiring a mortgage. Also nice to see someone quoting IOPS rather than MB/S  BTW, to free up an IP address in preparation for moving house and hugely reducing my broadband costs, my stats server is now being proxied through my main Apache server. In other words, if anything doesn't work, please shout loudly in this forum.

Also nice to see someone quoting IOPS rather than MB/S I'm only running 4 in mirrored pairs currently but have 22 on order there's frustratingly a six week lead time but cheaper than 2 x 15tb's @ £15k + vat. |

I can thoroughly recommended my Synology NAS (a DS718+). An excellent piece of kit. I've had the DS412+ for a few years, but it's starting to creak now, so am planning on a "minor" upgrade to the DS918+. I'm still pondering going for the maximum size disks it'll support, 8TB - enterprise-grade, as usual. I'm another one who can shout about the greatness of Synology!

Good Morning All
----------------------------------------mac1 said Looking forwards to the German Grand Prix, Hamilton and Ricciardo have a lot of overtaking to do which should be fun. You were not wrong - what a comeback from Lewis. It was a shame that Sebastian crashed out because I really believe that Lewis could have caught him and passed him. However a 25 point gain is not to be sneezed at! Is anyone else quietly confident that our Lewis ill bag WC No. 5 this year?
