I am looking to develop a search engine that will can handle 25 searches per second and have 5+ billion pages indexed. I intend to use the hardware below connected with fiber (of corse), do you think this is overkill, or am I falling way short.
I plan I buying 32 servers (actually contained inside 2 blade servers), each configured as follows: http://www.eztradelive.com/product.php?productid=157&cat=45&page=1 > Dual 2.0GHz Quad Core CPU > 2 x 300GB 2.5" SAS HDD (RAID) > 16GB DDR2 RAM + 60 TB of storage at RAID 10 with fiber connection.
