grid_65 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2016 Some of us would like to know what type of hardware\software you are running on. I know when wow 1.12 came out the max core count and max ram per server was limited compared to what you can get in just a single cpu and ram configuration. With current tech as of nov 2016 (max 24 core 48 threads with E7-8890 v4 cpu) and terabytes or ram are possible. As for software I am sure bliz had a custom linux os but what do you run? The distributed computing power we have with OS like CoreOS, Openstack, Microsoft Azure and many other OS could be what you are using but would like to hear from the dev. That is if we are allowed to see behind the curtain. I know how much effort the developers are putting into this and know how much power it takes to handle 8k users on code from 2005. So I wanted to see what the difference was between the “old” and “new” hardware is. If we the users are not allowed to know about this then know that we in the tech field appreciate the hard work. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grid_65 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2016 If we don’t get to know anything about the hardware because of security reasons then I am totally ok with it. Security is always first. It would be a great conversation to have with a dev to “talk shop” about some of the pros and cons of different types of systems. Even a high level theory talk that would not give any info on the system may prove enlightening as some of us. Some of us may be sysadmins of similar type systems that would find this info enlightening for other projects or systems we are developing or budgeting for. This type of stress testing is hard to come by in real world environments. (Not even talking about wow private servers with this.) This topic also may be better suited for another forum also. Once again keep up the good work and will be waiting eagerly for the go live. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
