No idea what you're using now, but this baby has 8 dual core Xeon 5148's
up to 64 gb ofDDR2 533
and up to 2 TB of storage
How's that for an asset server? eh?

Hey LL, maybe you should upgrade your asset server to this baby! |

as far as i remember the asset server is a cluster, hence multiple machines, this computer is a baby compared to it

Now a cluster of these things on the other hand...
Hmm.. Hey heres an idea! LL@Home! Can't be on the grid? No Problem! Your computer becomes part of the global asset server! _____________________

I believe Linden Lab uses these
Isilon IQ: http://www.isilon.com/products/index.php?sub=iq&page=products http://www.gridtoday.com/grid/642161.html Isilon IQ delivers a record of up to 528TB of capacity and 7 GBps of performance in one single file system; creating a single shared pool of storage which streamlines the creation, management and delivery of critical media assets. _____________________

Pretty sure they need some serious storage like Baba linked. I think assets and stuff might be one of the biggest weaknesses of second life as everything is a unique object so there's tons of repetition which with 3k for a prim would add up fast ;o

I think assets and stuff might be one of the biggest weaknesses of second life as everything is a unique object so there's tons of repetition which with 3k for a prim would add up fast ;o Yes, I believe they use the specific storage cluster solution I linked with assets mirrored 3 ways.. They run somewhere in the area of $25,000-$65,000 each.. I think they will move away from the asset server model, to a megacluster of low cost hardware like google ;0 That way a failure of one small system does not disrupt the other 20,000(or 20,000,000) servers. Your asset would have a a URI that would reference a specific system or maybe a load balancing server which would control a much smaller datbase. _____________________
