Hi All, In the process of putting together hardware requirements for a cf/http cluster. Don't have to worry about the db or db servers ... just cf and http.
Our web applications are just that ... no graphics, binary data, or static pages. We control the user base and currently have about 600 users that will be continuously using the system. Each user is expected to initiate a cf hit once every 20 seconds on average. We are estimating 9 hour days for each user so approximately 180,000 cf related hits in an hour during peak times or 1,620,000 in a day. I'm thinking we are going to start with 2 web servers (Netscape I-Planet) and 2 cf servers. What is the difference between round robin dns and hardware based load balancers? What type of hardware configurations should be on each web machine and what should be on the cf machines? Where should I focus on spending money to allow for future growth. The most useful information I've been able to find is located here: http://www.teratech.com/teratech/custom/CF_Environ_Config_Guide_Detailed.cfm Anything else is appreciated!
