Snort is not multi processor aware, I would go with he faster box. -----Original Message----- From: Basselgia, Barry A Mr (NAF Atsugi) [mailto:BABasselgia () atsugi navy mil] Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 12:06 AM To: snort-users () lists sourceforge net Subject: [Snort-users] Help me choose which system to run snort on. I'm building an IDS network, I'll end up with about 6 snort sensors feeding back to a snort server. The snort server will be running: Linux mysql apache snort barnyard acid/base open aanval There are 2 servers available and I've been given my choice. Basically, the servers are the same with regard to memory and hard drives. The difference is that one is a dual processor system with 2 x 1 GHz processors and the other is a single processor system with a 2 GHz processor. I'm kind of leaning towards the dual processor system, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions before I made up my mind.
Why are you planning on running Snort on the backend database server, given that you have 6 sensors already?
Assuming that this is unnecessary, I'd agree with the OP's assessment than the dual processor machine would be best; hopefully Apache and the PHP apps will end up running on one processor, and MySQL and barnyard on the other.
Thanks, Barry
