That's exactly what AW does. You can host it completely in-house.
Again, I didn't try it myself but I know several members of this list did. Since the AW issue is going off-topic for this list, and we will talk anyhow, I close here.

What I am NOT allowed to do is to use a 3rd party grid. The school has made it clear this must be hosted by them or hosted by a stand alone company (server farm) and cannot be hosted by a 3rd party like Linden Lab or Activeworlds. Unless there is a stand alone version of activeworlds to use. They want to own the world and that was told to me from the start or we are not allowed to do this project for them. Trust me I would love to make them just buy grids from SL or Activeworlds (it makes my life sooo much easier. lol).

When it comes to user number of 50 or higher at one place, they switch to ActiveWorlds. It is an old but very proven technology that is very affordable. Again, I am not promoting AW being a big OpenSim fan myself ( http://web3dblog.wordpress.com ) but if you want to get the job done, you might consider AW. I didn't try it myself but filed it under 'you need that for large numbers' If you want to have it based on OpenSim for some reason, ignore this comment here J.

[bayes] Hi Nebadon, Thanks for your info, it's really shedding light on this issue. I might not of explained what I am after in detail. I am not looking to run 1 sim, I am looking to run multiple sims that will handle the load of 800 users. I do not know how to make those sims (not regions I know how to make the xml file and make another island) but the server side software connect together on one machine to handle the load. To make that type of grid, does anyone know where we could actually obtain those servers? Regarding asset storage, we do not anticipate the students really doing anything except for coming into this area and meet with their teachers for a presentation. Let me know what you guys think, as I am trying to find the best solution for the school. Thanks!

And really these limits are only going to apply if your all your doing is standing around chatting, if your expecting people to be able to build and script you can cut these numbers way down depending on your hardware your deploying. My guess though even if you could get 800 people into 1 region (Highly Unlikley it will ever happen honestly) you are likely to have other issues with chat and being able to actually control communications with such large crowds. I hate to say it but OpenSimulator is really in no way capable of housing such a large production at this time nor likely will be anytime in the near future either. If your talking about 800 students spread out over an entire grid all not in the same 1 region then that is more realistic but the same math will apply, your going to need a good 30 regions with all having 1 core of CPU power and aprox 2gb ram per region if your expecting 800 users, and your going to need fairly beefy Asset services with lots of storage space. Anyway if you have more questions about it please let us know. -- Michael Emory Cerquoni - Nebadon Izumi @ http://osgrid.org _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev -- Have a creative day, Andrew M Hughes President Designing Digitally Inc. -A Second Life (r) Gold Solution Developer. -A proud member of the Better Business Bureau with an overall BBB rating of A-. -General Services Administration (GSA) IT Schedule 70 Contract Holder. ======================================================================== =========== Address: 8401 Claude Thomas Rd. | Suite 23 | Franklin, OH 45005 Phone: 866-316-9126 Fax: 866-701-0029 Email: [email protected] Website: http://www.designingdigitally.com Blog: http://www.designingdigitally.com/blog/ ======================================================================== =========== CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to which they are addressed.
