Hi Sarah-

I'm sure others have experiences that could help, so I hope they will chime in. Nate put together some slides two years ago on production setups, including some architecture for the server main.g2.bx.psu.edu: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Events/GDC2010?action=AttachFile&do=get&ta...

There is also a wiki page describing production environments: http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Production%20Server

Again, I'm sure others have had different experiences with both more and less hardware on hand. Of course your mileage may vary based on the tools being used (which in your case I'm guessing is Tophat), the number of datasets that will need to be analyzed, and so on.

I hope that helps!

Dear all,

To purchase equipment related to a local instance of Galaxy, I would like to have your feedback.

Did you notice load problems when 10 to 20 users launch jobs at the same time and on a single instance of Galaxy, with mi-RNA or RNA seq data ?

What do you recommend in terms of storage space, number of nodes, number of instances?

Thank you in advance, Sarah Maman ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client. To manage your subscriptions to this and other Galaxy lists, please use the interface at:
