Because not a singel OSS OnlineStore software support features I need for my business, I am coding a whole "Waren Wirtschafts System" with production checkout and an additional OnlineStore where I sell products which I have bought in VERY big quantities to get my Endproducts cheaper in production. I start with bneary the same requiements as you, have 18 main categories and each has 5 to 40 sub categories. Currently I have arround 1700 different products I need for production but over the tieme I count with 30-50.000 products. The server I will use is developed by my own using a Marvell Kirkwood MV78200 with an attached Marvell 8-channel SATA/SAS Raid-0/1/10/5 con- troller. This pig has 2 GByte DDR2 memory and beat anything I have ever used in this class. It is an ARM Microcontroller with 1200MHz. The "Reference Design" I use currently can handel more then 400 requests at once... If such small machine can handel this, I realy think, you do not know what are you talking about... My software (Apache2, PHP5 and PostgreSQL 8.3; Debian GNU/Linux Lenny) installed on this Low-Energy (<17W) machine can be scaled by adding parallel machines to increase performance... The machine without harddrives cost me in production of 1000 pcs less then 300 Euro/machine. I am slightely sure, yo make something wrong... I will not continue to read ths thread, because it is sick.
