A Server hardware Question for - the Technical people [modified]

Lost User

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 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

How technical do you want it? What kind of mains plugs CP uses? Do a little logical extrapolation from those specs, and you won't be too far wrong...

Then I would ask the question in the Site Bugs/Suggestions forum instead...

Then ask your question in the correct forum, or of the correct people. Have you figured out how CodeProject (and particularly The Lounge) operates yet?

I must get a clever new signature for 2011.

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?

The answer is 42. :)

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.

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.

excuse me, I like to be polite enough but I was clear when I asked the question - The question was for a Site like Code project with a lot of Question answers and forums and some static pages - not much of logic and processing.

I remember you !

One per box.

I-am-Learning wrote:

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

Three. I fake all the other responses.

not exactly. - just how many cpu's of a server or cloud would be necessary for a site like code project for 50,000 simultaneous users.Do you have a idea, how many simultaneous people can the present configuration handle.

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?
