Database Servers
Your database is the foundation everything else depends on — every transaction, every report, every customer interaction. Slow queries, I/O bottlenecks, or unexpected downtime cost real money. ICD configures database-optimized servers with high-capacity memory, ultra-fast NVMe storage, and dual processors tuned for the I/O patterns of Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. Every component is compatibility-verified before it ships.
Database workloads are uniquely demanding. OLTP systems need sub-millisecond storage latency and enough memory to cache hot data sets. OLAP and data warehouse workloads need raw sequential throughput and massive memory for hash joins and sort operations. In-memory databases like SAP HANA or Oracle TimesTen need terabytes of RAM in a single system.
The wrong storage controller, an incompatible memory speed, or insufficient I/O bandwidth can cut your database performance in half — and you may not discover it until production load hits. ICD eliminates that risk with pre-validated configurations and compatibility checks drawn from official vendor documentation.
Recommended specifications
| Component | Minimum | Recommended | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPU | Dual Intel Xeon Silver 4314 (32 cores total) | Dual Intel Xeon Gold 6430 or AMD EPYC 9354 (64+ cores total) | Database engines parallelize across cores for query execution; higher clock speeds benefit single-threaded OLTP |
| RAM | 128 GB DDR4-3200 RDIMM | 512 GB – 2 TB DDR5-4800 RDIMM | Buffer pool should hold your active dataset; in-memory databases need full dataset in RAM |
| Storage | 4x 960 GB SAS SSD in RAID 10 + 2x 480 GB SSD RAID 1 (OS/logs) | 8x 1.92 TB NVMe SSD in RAID 10 + 2x NVMe RAID 1 (redo logs) + BOSS for OS | Separate data, log, and tempdb onto different physical drives; NVMe eliminates I/O wait |
| Network | Dual 10GbE (redundant) | Dual 25GbE SFP28 + dedicated backup NIC | Replication, backup, and client traffic should be on separate network paths |
| RAID Controller | Dell PERC H755 or HPE P408i with battery-backed cache | Dell PERC H965i (8 GB cache) or HPE MR416i-p | Battery-backed write cache is critical for database write performance and crash recovery |
