 | View Full Version : What server please to load 1 banner maximum123 11-11-2002, 07:41 AM Hi I need to load a banner 600-700,000 times a day the banner is 16-20k What server would i need to do this please? Thank you for your time bwho 11-11-2002, 07:47 AM 8.1 hits a second .. most anything on the market should be fine for this >900mhz with atleast 512mb of ram. then again I am only assuming, ive never had a box with that high of a banner load. Mango 11-11-2002, 08:28 AM Even a 450Mhz RAQ could easily handle this. We have 1Ghz servers pushing out 30-40Mbps of static content, equalling +/- 10,000GB per month. Your banners would only take around 300GB, so no problem at all. Rgds, Carl bwho 11-11-2002, 08:42 AM but raq's are so worthless :( which leads me to believe my statement about how most anything on the market should be fine for this ..

Just go to Rackshack (http://www.rackshack.net/english/compaqdl320.asp) and get the most powerful server you can find. The one on that page with the 10MBps unmetered connection, should do nicely. If 1 sever can't handle the load, then you'll need to pay some Linix magician to setup some load balancing between 2 or more machines. You could post a request into the ad forum [at the bottom of this forum's main page] and specifically request what you need for your requirements etc. It all depends on how much $$$$$ you're willing to part with each month too. atr 11-12-2002, 12:52 AM Originally posted by brian-WHT 8.1 hits a second .. most anything on the market should be fine for this >900mhz with atleast 512mb of ram. If the banner is less than 20k, do you really need this much RAM? To cache the file in RAM would use a negligable amount. How much RAM for processes? maximum123 11-12-2002, 01:36 AM Aussie Bob I went to that site but any server with grunt was sold out. unless this could do the job..... Intel Celeron 1.3 GHz 1 GB RAM 256k OBC - 100MHz FSB I only like to get my servers on a month by month basis I think rackshack require a longer contract maybe this server would do the job... http://www.saburovo.com/subscribe/all/#rs_plesk1024_60_60 Thanks for any help |
