orig_mrrabbit Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 It is pretty clear that Satele Shan and Star Forge are virtual servers residing on a single machine. Question: Is a separate hardware network interface provisioned for each server OR are they sharing the same hardware network interface and time sharing it at 50% each under load? =8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well duh, my eyes don't focus that close up. Why do you say that two servers that are in the same datacentre (since November 2017) must automatically be in the same machine?

If you folks paid attention to last week Star Forge reboot, you'd realize that they literally gave away the fact that Star Forge AND Satele Shan are virtual servers running on the same machine. Plus it help that my background is Data Center Administrator. =8-) Edited January 26, 2023 by orig_mrrabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course they would never reboot the Data Center while rebooting the server.... Would they Did it get this convoluted reasoning correct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean by 'single machine'? You know SWTOR doesn't run on a single computer stuck on a bench in some dev's basement. It runs on a 'server farm' consisting of many separate units running many, many CPU cores. 🤔 Edited January 26, 2023 by JediQuaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Jackie Ko will go to their server peeps and ask for this info? As a data center administrator do you get requests from clients asking you to provide detailed hardware configurations that the client can in turn provide to the client's customers? I can see the data center client wanting this level of detail for their own internal use, not for their customers' reference. I'm guessing most data center clients aren't keen on revealing this level of detail to their general customer base. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
