Hello, We are currently implementing galaxy and were wondering how many users you currently support, the hardware that you use, and the amount of storage (terabytes, petabytes, etc.) you are using. Thanks! Matt

And anything you'd like to share from your experience regarding hardware selection would be appreciated as well; I'm currently thinking of ordering several "inexpensive" servers. Have you noticed an "optimal" number of web servers, before traffic jams at the db server start to affect performance?
It depends on how much traffic you have - we have a single system for the main public site, with 8 cores and 32GB of ram. It runs our web threads, job runner, and database without running into resource limits. If you can save the money on quantity to get better disk for the database and faster cores, that would probably be beneficial. --nate On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 4:40 PM, Matt Vincent <Matt.Vincent@jax.org> wrote:

Nate, Thank you for the response. How many registered and active users do you have? What about disk space? Matt On 11/15/10 7:23 PM, "Kanwei Li" <kanwei@gmail.com> wrote:
