For those that are into this sort of thing I thought you would appreciate what we are running HTF on as far a hardware goes.
We just had an update in the database server with the following.
2x Intel Xeon 5620 (Quad-Core) Processors
24 GB RAM
2x Intel X25-E Extreme SSD Disks
then:
HTF runs on about 5 different servers (not including backups and redundant machines):
- The database server
- The application (web) server
- A Varnish cache server that serves many of the non-member requests directly from memory without even reaching the web server at all
- A memory cache server (redis) that stores commonly accessed information (sessions, sidebar content, etc.) for the application server so that it doesn't have to query the database as often
- A search server that indexes content and returns search results
