Hi Folks We are looking at deployment issues for our Java Servlet and tying to figure out sizing of the web server. For various reasons we need to use NT Server 4.0. In the long term the user volumes could reach 500 concurrent users. However, initially we are looking to support upto 100 concurrent users and then monitor the situation to see how user volumes increase. Scaling vertically seems to be a good option initially, by this I mean using a single machine fitted two 500 MHz Pentium III processors. This appears to be less of a management overhead than scaling horizontally with multiple web servers (this would probably also involve the use of an Application Server such as BEA Web Logic). Our target platform is: - NT Server 4.0 - MS-Internet Information Server 4.0 - ServletExec 2.1 plug-in - Sun JRE 1.1.6 Does anyone have information on how well the Sun Java Virtual Machine works on an NT Server fitted with multiple processors ? If anyone has an example machine configuration along with an indication of the number of concurrent users it can support that would be brilliant. BTW, we intend to have a second server as a database server (Oracle 8i under NT Server). Any information will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------- David Cope Triad Group Plc, IT and IS consultancy services Godalming, UK Web site: http://www.triad.plc.uk Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 (0)1483 860222 Fax: +44 (0)1483 863220 ---------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
