    500MBps Connection

    Just out of curiosity, that wouldn't be a FiOS connection now would it? If not, I always wondered why you don't have a fiber connection.

      It's a connection within the data center. Previously was a 100Mbps connection with capped bandwidth. The web servers I don't host locally.

        In the process we're also getting native IPv6 support.
        It's about time!

          Was going to go with 64GB of RAM but got a deal for 96GB... The amount of traffic and DB workload is quite memory intensive.

            Would be interesting to know more about the numbers. I wouldn't have expected phoronix.com to use that much resources. What services does the machine run? How is the resource consumption divided between frontend, backend and db?

              Traditional LAMP stack.

              OpenBenchmarking.org actually consumes more resources than Phoronix.com... OpenBenchmarking.org will likely be on one of these servers while a second one would be devoted to Phoronix.com + rest of Phoronix Media properties. Most don't realize exactly how much OB is hammered with how many PTS installations there are publicly and private BTFW. For re-enabling search and other functionality there, it will easily be maxing out 64~96GB RAM and 12+ Haswell cores.

                Might be a good moment to finally restore HTTPS support.

                A simple self-signed cert would do.
