A Server hardware Question for - the Technical people [modified]
-
What is the minimum server configuration to keep a site like codeproject running for 50,000 simultaneous users. Nos of procs for the windows server and nos of procs for the Sql Database server and amount of Ram. Now dont look at my signature - it's a defence for the Irrational downvotes that I keep getting.

The answer is 42. :)

The Code Project is hosted on 7 web servers running Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2003 R2. Each box has between 2 and 4 Gb RAM and runs standard hyperthreaded desktop-level intel chips. The web servers connect to heavy duty multi-CPU, mutli-core SQL servers running SQL 2008 R2 THIS IS NOT TECHNICAL enough
Don't be such a tosser: you asked a question and people took the time to answer so don't get pissy cos you didn't get precisely what you wanted. You keep proving yourself to be a bit of an ass: take a step back: if you want to be accepted here you're going about it in a very strange manner.

Oh how you missed the sarcasm, you missed it by a few light years.

It's not clear - how many cpu's for the Windows server. How many CPU's for the db server? How much total Ram. How many simultaneous people can the the present config handle?
Don't you think that the precise configuration is dependant on what exact code you will be running in each of the processes? If you search the MS website, i am sure there is a spreadsheet for determining hardware configurations based on system expectations.

One per box.

One per 35 or 50 ewes is recommended. More can cause fighting.

Three. I fake all the other responses.

You remind me of the post a couple of days back where they were describing the type of code project members in the forum. Are you trying to prove you are the Big Dog, who doesn't spare anyone smaller? 3(5) votes for that messsage.Is that how reputations are built?

He's telling you that someone took the time to answer your question, so there's no need to SHOUT, even if you can't appreciate their help. If you want more of a "technical enough" answer, go hire a consultant, and pay them to get what you want. If you want it for free, and you cannot be patient and polite, you'll get nothing. Well, may be you will get some humiliation for being ignorant and rude.

If you are trying to host a site, that you just developed, then it's better to start with Shared Hosting, once you get the users and revenue going, you can shift to Dedicated Hosting, and once the site becomes big hit (you need to decide the criteria), then you try to host the site yourself. otherwise it's not worth it and too much efforts/money will be required to test if your new idea is going to work or not. becuase selft hosting is big resposibility, you need everything redundant, power / hardware / internet / storage etc... And if you have that kind of money in your pocket, then buy 2 high configuration servers, with dual socket CPUs, quad core Xeons, with 32 GB RAM each, with RAID 10 harddrives. and then install vmware ESX in both. and configure atleast 1 web servers each (for redundacy) , and 1 database server with atleast 1 node for replication (both on sperate servers for redundacy). you can allocate 8GB x 2 ram to sql server database, 4GB ram x 2 to web servers. reserve 2 GB for vmware host. and 1 GB for sql server failover witness database. and use rest for development environment. (and the networking hardware extra, hardware firewalls, switches, static ip, internet connections etc..) And if this is too complex then go with Amazon EC Services or Windows / SQL Azure. and you dont have to worry about anything, and you can upgrade the hardware as per the demand, by changing the web.config.

and you like talking to me.It's nice of you.You are not as bad and stupid as I thought you were.

There you go again making assumptions.

I wish I'd done something to be nice.

There you go again making assumptions. Looks to me if your space bar is broken. Also I'd be little cautious when my assumptions, epecially when its concerning me.
