Its generally pretty scalable, but that magnitude...
Do we have a dedicated MySQL server?

As you can imagine, the database is in an almost constant state of being hammered. Too much of that and it'll fall over. So it probably could use some optimization and hopefully some of these staff will be seeing to that. |

I dunno, but I can say that in general the more resources you throw at it the better. Up to a point. If you're Google then you might have to architect your database a bit differently.

Maybe OCN's technical people will care to comment.

As far as I know, our backend is currently three servers. The only one I know specs on for certain is "kingpin", the web server, which consists of 2x quad core Harpertowns, 8gb of RAM, and 2x15k SAS drives. One of the database servers is configured very similarly to this, and somewhere in the mix the third one fits in, though I do not know its role or its specifications. Note though that's all off what I can remember, so it could be completely different.

I do know for certain that the two Harpertown servers were added to our existing hardware back in August.

Maybe its time to look for alternatives to MySQL?

In the near future admin will be bringing on a full-time tech admin, so decisions such as that would fall under his/her realm of knowledge. If its determined MySQL is indeed an issue, whatever can be done to rectify the problem will be done.

As Scott_MC explained it, yes. It was removed to help prevent lockups (which I am going to assume were database related).

Rest assured they will be back in the future. Only a temporary move.
