Memory Upgrades 648 GB RAM

[sboesch]

I am upgrading two of my servers at the colo, I purchased 36x16 GB memory modules.
This is what 648 GB looks like.

Wow nice! Wish I knew that you were looking for those.

BTW what kind of applications are you running at the colo?

You have piqued my curiosity, why is that?
Vsphere 5.1 cluster, custom Web 2.0 .Net applications for our customers. We do all our development in house. 6 IIS Webservers, 6 SQL Servers for the apps which are a tad heavy.

I bought a bunch (well less than you) of 16GB DIMMs in anticipating that I would use them in the colo infrastructure. Ended up going with the LGA 1366 machines that can only use up to 8GB RDIMMs and not 1600MHz DDR3.

On the colo side, only because I'm looking at other infrastructures before doing ours.

Looks like I missed out.

That is certainly a real nice amount of memory to play with!

Question though, what kind of memory is it? Specs and such.
