How about 2000 simultaneous users? I plan to use DP Xeon platform with 8G ram and use Apache2.2.3 prefork. Thx, Xuekun On 11/14/06, Domingos Parra Novo <domingosnovo@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Like Joshua said, if you're talking about 10k simultaneous users, thats basically impossible to serve with only one server. Some of our fastest apache machines (serving only static content) are usually able to deliver around 6,500 hits/sec at most. And we're talking about quad Xeon machines, with 8 Gb of ram. In counterpart, each of those machines serve at least a hundred million (static) requests per day, and usually much more then 5 million distinct users per day. As you can see, it all depends on your exact needs.
