1U Co-located Server Hardware Recommendations.

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I love this game so I thought I would go and buy myself some hardware and stick it in a data-center.

Thing is. I don't have a clue what Arma 3 Needs in the way of hardware for it to run properly.

I would like to be able to run 100+ Player multiplayer missions smoothly.

It will cost a packet buying iron but I figure it will pay for itself over the long term rather than going through a hosting company.

Looking at all the options available on Dell's site for hardware is making my brain turn to mush so any expert help would be very much appreciated.

Budget up to $5k

You'll need (mostly) the following:

1) Dual CPU Xeon 2.4ghz or better (that's 8 cores... two separate CPU's)

2) 16GB RAM

3) 64GB SSD via SCSI or SATA 3 (6GB/s)

4) 1Gbit connection.

5) Tweaking the settings to utilize all that bandwidth...

6) A mission that supports 100 players.

7) 100 players.

8) Win...

If you just want to run 1server go for the fastest cpu (Mhz).

Dont go for a Xeon 2.4 - go for a i7 with the fastest mhz, i would

prefer a k processor and do an overclock.
