Server configuration for video hosting?

Question

Iron

If someone has experience in hosting a large amount of video files, could you suggest the optimal server configuration for the following task:
- Storage of 4Tb video with an extension of up to 100Tb
- Uploading up to 8 streams of 1920 x 1080 H.264 video simultaneously

Answer 1

You cannot store so many TB on the server (and this is wrong), you need storage.
Number of threads = number of cores, plus a couple more cores for the system and side tasks. It's minimum.

Answer 2

>>Storing 4Tb video with an extension of up to 100Tb It's
not clear how you imagine it ...
We use www.nix.ru/autocatalog/server_systems_intel/Intel_2U_SR2612URR_LGA1366_i5520_SAS_RAID_12xHotSwapSAS_SATA_2xGbLAN_12DDRIII_760W_96855.html with one X6.eon For encoding it is better to use something like X5660.
The system stands on 2 sas 2.5 disks in RAID1, which are mounted inside the case.
There are 12 greens in the baskets in RAID1
Everything works fine. If redundancy is not critical, then you can easily get 24Tb on disks from 2Tb.

Answer 3

For 100Tb

Answer 4

The case above indicated a good one. But it's better to take a similar one, but for 3.5 disks.
www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847E26-R1400LP.cfm with expander.
Roughly speaking, the volume of one 2.5 disk is now about 1TB, for 3.5 disks there are already 4TB.
Controller type adapec 6405.
The processor is purely for the return of xeon 5606 for the eyes. Operatives to taste.
But here you need to understand that it is better to take two such servers, because if the disk crashes, the rebuild will be very, very long!
With the return of eight streams, it will be easy to handle. The only thing you need to specify is the bitrate to understand if you run into a gigabit port.
