I don't want answer related to processors. I want the number you actually want to support. Then when knowning those numbers, one can think about an architecture needed to support it. So the questions remains open: - How many concurrent users do you have to support ? - How many requests per second do you have to sustain (average value) ? - What is the total thruput needed (Bytes/Sec) ? I can add this question: - What is the maximum allowed latency time ?
This being said, 10 users per server is normally very small number unless the user are asking a lot of data or number crunching processing. > If session timeout is set to 10 min, The question is: why would a session be 10 minutes ? Why not 10 seconds or 10 hours ? You have to tell more about your application if you want good advice. > Max. 50Kb/sec for 1 request Then how long is a request ? You should not give thruput for a request but data size involved in a request. And remember we are only interested in the AVERAGE value ! > In total, I assume 500 Kb/sec per server. 500 kilo-bit-per-second is not big. Any personal computer is able to handle this. -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
