Planned: DAO.nu DE 5,6,7,8,9,10 (30€ each Server)

[kochleffel 3]

I´m Thinking about to host 6 New DE Server´s with 50 slots.

these makes in total 300 Slots for DayZ

to get up this Machine i need only 150€ Monthly

Installation,Maintenance is taken by me.

to the Server specs:

Intel Core I7 980X (Hexacore)

24Gb DDR 3 Ram

2x 120Gb SSD

Windows!

if u are intressted to help to get up this Huge Server with 300 Slots

write me an Email: INFO@DAO.nu

or Visit us at: http://www.dao.nu

right now we run: DE1,2 and 4 with 50 Slots very stable!

Maybe this isn't the best idea. Rocket said that the central database was made to test 2x50 slot servers and there are like 40 already, it can barely handle what is out there.

I enjoy the DE servers, but maybe adding 300 players to the already borked central DB isn't the smartest move.

Just my two cents ;)

thanks for the word´s MAX,

i had a Talk with Rocket Today,

we have to less Server´s thats the thruth.

ur right the Database Server is really Busy (i can smell it)

but also i heard that with some release a local Database will be required.

it was just an idea lets see what the Community wanna say to this.

fun and Performance then the rest!

Is that an OVH server? I believe some of the current EU servers are hosted by OVH and possibly those same specs. Ask some of the current EU server hosts for some guidance.

Well I'm pretty sure the TFM group is intresting in buying a 50 slot server, the montly due is 30 euro?

[kochleffel 3]

dao de1 2 and 4 have nearly same specs,

ovh doesnt have that specs. as i know .

[kochleffel 3]

question to dayz mod staff: are there plans to get a local database?

Are you sure that it will manage 6 servers? A single server uses about ~120% of a core when full, meaning you'd be more than 1 core short when hosting 6 (6 * 1.2 = 7.2). I'd stick to 5, which runs you exactly at 100%. Not counting HT here as while it allows better distributing of threads, it does not make up for the missing power when running 6 servers. Also keep in mind that you'd be looking at what, ~30TB of bandwidth a month? Not many companies in the 150 euro-area will let you actually use that much. You'd also be looking at an output of 70 to 90 mbps during the day/evening/early night (less during the night due to timezones). Many of the German websites that come with unmetered cap you at 10mbit after either 10TB of bandwidth or an output of >30-40mbit. Before having other people pay I'd make sure to look into all that and besides, for 150 euro's a month you could also just get 2-3 of these (linking some random German hosts that I know of out of my head): Hetnzer, Velia & Xirra.

Which would allow you to run 6 to 10 servers with ease, in comparison to 5, for the same money.

PS:

Another viable option would be Hetzner outlet/market @ https://robot.your-server.de/order/market/page/4

You could get 2 i7 975s with 12GB of RAM for 56 euro a month each (and a 56 euro setup each). Certainly more efficient than 1 Hexa Core as you can run more for less.

ill talk about a 980 for 80 euros + 1000mbit 40euros + windows 25euros makes 145.

if u use 2x 56 + 2x 25 i get 162 euros.

but were here to discuss stuff like this i dont wanna get 55 each server cause thats to much.
