Local Galaxy Server on IBM System x3550 ?

Hello,

Our lab has inherited a server on which we would like to install a local Galaxy production server so that the labs in our department can connect to it and run various jobs. The specifics of the server are as follows:

  • IBM System x3550
  • processors: 2 x Intel Xeon 5140 2.33 GHz
  • memory: 8 GB
  • disks: 2 x 300 GB
  • additional storage is possible via USB

My questions are:

  • is this machine capable of serving as a Galaxy server for a hand full of people?
  • which operating system is appropriate for this machine? Our initial thoughts are Ubuntu Linux server edition.
  • are there pitfalls I should be aware of if we choose to install Galaxy on this machine?

Thank you :)
