I'm investigating porting an Apache/PHP/MySQL application currently using local storage to use a private Tahoe grid (servers with public IPs) as the backend. Total storage size is about 10 TBytes, using about a million files. The application would typically run on local LAN behind NAT.
Question: how many servers would one need to make this reliable? How much storage should each server contribute for good performance? How slow would access to such files be (user queries local DB via a http front end, then retrieves the hits from the cloud), all assuming fast servers on the public Internet? Under 10 seconds, over 10 seconds? Thanks! _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
