Need new server advice

Posted by Jeff Johnson on July 07, 2014 at 07:57:21:

Good morning. We have been running into some issues running Comet in a VMWare environment. The system just seems to be running SLOW. I have tried tweaking many different variables with moderate success. We are convinced that returning Comet to a physical server will give us the best performance. Now, I need to determine what is the "best" for performance. I believe that the Comet would benefit most from a higher CPU speed. Cores do not seem to matter, nor does multiple processors. I also don't think RAM is a big issue.
I have heard that the AMD processors seem to work better, with Comet, in a virtual environment. Is that true for a physical environment too?

I need to decide if I should install Windows Server 2012R2 (which is 64 bit only) or downgrade to Server 2008 in order to keep a 32 bit OS.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jeff
