We are attempting to deploy our admin site using Orion in a non-clustered
environment. We are having some difficulties however..but not with Orion. At
least I don't think so. Our problem is in our code I am pretty sure. We are
getting connection leaks on occassion especially on large queries. We have a
completely home-brewn persistence layer which I think is part of the
problem. None the less the hardware we are using is a IBM NetFinity 4000r
rack, dual PIII500 with 512MB ram, and raid scsi setup.
Our main site will use 966Mhz dell servers (Single cpu) with scsi raid
setup, in a clustered environment (using Orion). We will use Win2K with JDK
1.3. Traffic wise we are expecting between 100 sessions a day initially to
over 3000 sessions a day in a year or so. That is SMALL compared to busy
sites. We are also co-locating our servers for 24/7 up-time, security, etc.
Stability is fine for Win2K, although I hear its good to reboot the server
every few days anyways..JVM leaks, OS leaks, etc. Besides that, we back up
our database every night, so we reboot at that time anyways..just to be
safe.
