I’ve been given the task by my company to offer a blogging solution. Initially the traffic shouldn’t be that great, but I have to make sure that things will perform well when the site becomes popular(1,000,000 visitors/month?).
We don’t have the servers yet, but I would guess they will be something like 2 – 3Ghz+ Xeon, >1GB ram. We’ll be running some sort of load balancer. We will have other websites hosted on these servers as well so they will come down on me if I bring things down :). Sitting behind these two servers will be a dedicated machine for our database.
Thanks for your comments.
