New Oceania Server Coming Soon!

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am currently working on a setting up a server and hope to have it completed by next weekend.

The server specs are:

CPU: Quad Core Xeon E3 1240

RAM: 4 GB DDR3

Disks: 500GB SATA

Data: 3000GB (Upgraded from 1TB)

Hopefully that will be able to hold 50 players without issues, I will update this thread as we get closer to launching the server.

All your specs are fine, but you will need more bandwidth to get you through the month.

1TB is only 33GB per day. If you run 50x slot server and data is calculated IN+OUT, you'll be able to run it for about 4-5 hours per day.

I'll have to check our bandwidth stats later, but we're doing 8-12GB per hour now, with 2x40 slot servers. The last DayZ patch increased our bandwidth quite a bit though. I think we ran 120 slots 2 weeks ago and only did about 8-10GB per hour. We're doing 200-220GB per day though since 1.5.7.

80 slots = 200GB approximately.

20 slots = 50GB approximately.

The math doesn't look good sorry. This is with the current bandwidth requirements though, which could change for better/worse anytime Rocket releases new updates.

They do warn all potential server hosts that they need at least 2-3TB per month to host a DayZ server.

Edit: Yeah, 3TB will be fine. Install bandwidth software first chance you get and just play with the slot numbers.

Great stuff Moochie - definitely keep an eye on the bandwidth. Keen to see what patch 1.5.8 has brought us in terms of data usage though.

Also, as I have pretty much the same hardware - one server with 40 slots will generally only use ~33-40% of the CPU under load. So two 40 slot servers would be possible on said hardware.

Cheers,

Chris
