I wish I could say what we're doing, but I know potential competitors are listening and these lists are public. I can discuss privately if you would like to know more. You're close with the NSA stuff, although on a much smaller and public scale.
Today, alone, we've processed 15M TX in about 2 hours (2080tps), using a single MySQL server (not TTW), and MySQL just yawns. In our experience, only MySQL and Oracle are capable of doing this (and Oracle only in versions 9 and above). This is also why I ask so many RDBMS questions on this list. I do think we will need multiple instances. I would like to use Zope and perhaps replace Gadfly with MySQL. Has anyone done this in Zope 3? If so, how? I would estimate based upon my preliminary tests that Zope with ZODB can handle about 300/tps on our hardware. The versioning feature of Zope alone would blow our clients away. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Fulton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 6:23 AM > To: David Johnson > Cc: 'Andreas Jung'; zope3-users@zope.org > Subject: Re: [Zope3-Users] Zope 3 Capacities > > David Johnson wrote: > > We're looking at 10-100 billion tx per year stored and performed. > > > > Partly I'm trying to gauge where the dividing line is between using the > ZODB > > and not, and also estimate how many server instances should be running. > > I'm not sure any transactional database will handle that sort of rate with > a single database.
