David,
Sure – the target numbers are currently just modelling numbers, as we have an existing application that supports about 5 thousand users at peak times. Running this on a standard web hosting plan is fine at the moment, but we are starting to see user numbers peak during certain times of the month. So we normally go from about 100 individual users per day to just over 5 thousand per day over the course of a month. Sessions last for about 30-60 min each. Data wise we are relatively heavy with each user generating about 300 or so records per session. We’re looking to take it to O/S markets and the hope is that the number will expand at least several fold so we are looking for scalability options that scale with our requirements (rather than buying 5 servers say and using them 5% of the time).

What is your actual peak load? Can you tell us something about the complexity of the data access? -- David Connors | <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] | <http://www.codify.com> www.codify.com Codify Pty Ltd Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: <https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors> https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: <https://www.codify.com/contact> https://www.codify.com/contact
