Ok, lets assume I can get a network connection with:
A)10mbit
B)100mbit
C)1000mbit
And I will have 10k concurrent downloads (let us throw out 100k for now..
because i can alwasy scale up figures if we get a base).
(The reason I say 10k concurrent is because we have an update system (sorta
like windows update).. and as soon as we tell their computer to update, we
have 10k boxes saying give me the file!)
So my question is..
What would be the best (given we cannot do blades or the like since we have
to use 'standard' 1u/2u/4u boxes from the dedi center).
Should we definitly beat the problem with iron and get 5servers doing load
balancing? 2servers? If 2servers go with the 1000mbit connection?
thank you for all of your time and input!
thanks
Lee

That's quite a wide margin. Are we talking concurrent users or just
number of people who could be using it over a period of xx?
So my main computer crunching will be done at the beginning? (and to
relive
this I can do session key caching.. how long can I cache a key? is this
'secure'?) (also.. all transfers will be ~15megs in size)
well, with 15meg files you've got more work to do encrypting the content
as the session goes along. You can cache the key as long as you want,
but depending on the type of encryption used, most browsers will not
allow the key to live for all that long. I usually run for about 1 hour,
but ymmv depending on the chosen parameters.
And using a single server is out of the question?
the number of concurrent users has very much to say in that regard.
Maybe an ibm power 5 64 proc or a fully loaded sun e25k - and add an
ssl accelerator to the mix.
If we just go with one server.. shouldn't it be something super fast..
amd64 1gig ram?
Super fast / amd 64 with only 1 gig mem? you've got to be kidding - I'm
pretty sure you couldn't keep even without SSL.
Doesn't your pr0n streaming business generate enough income to pay for a
real server? ;)
