Hi All,

I need to do Linux server sizing...

What are the tools available...

How to do the manual sizing...

There are none really.

But www.tpc.org could serve as reference.

If it is going to be a database server, there are certain rules you can follow -- like number of connections -- whether those connections are dedicated or MTS -- fr which you can size for memory.

You can also employ Swingset to benchmark and size accordingly.

So it is really a YMMV thing.

Planning also comes in -- with Virtualisation -- KVM of course preferred - you can have multiple physical servers and spread your workload accross mobile/HA virtual servers - and have an agile IT environment.
