Sorry for the cross-post for those on CF-talk, I now realise this is probably a better forum for this question. I have been developing a CF app for a client using CF4.5 on Linux connecting to a separate Linux MySQL server. My client's static HTML site is currently getting about 6-10 page views per second in peak time. All images for the new CF site will be stored on a separate media server and I am building the app to use static pages as much as possible. I am now looking at the possibility of running an NT or 2000 server instead of Linux, and using SQL server as the database instead of MySQL. Quite simply, it is easier for me to get good hosting support for this platform in the US (the site will be hosted in the US, I am in Australia so support must be good). I am looking at one or two Dual P3-700 machines with 1GB RAM and a RAID 5 system as the main CF Servers and a similar box to run the database. Will this configuration handle the load using NT? Will it be better/worse than Linux Performance? Am I likely to see greater/lesser performance with SQL Server vs MySQL? It's VERY hard to get performance numbers from Allaire, so I'd appreciate any help. This site is my first site with this kind of load so I am very concerned to get the server config right.
