Help on Hardware Configuration and Clustering

[sunilbhatia]

Hi All,

We are planning to use Flash Comm Server for our application and would like to know a couple of things first before we could make a huge investment. Have tried to search all of Macromedia + other sites, but in vain.

Can anyone please help us with the following:

1. Ideal hardware and software configuration for a server that would support upto 2500 simultaneous connections.

2. Ideal hardware and software configuration for a server that would support upto 5000 simultaneous connections. (using the stacking approach)

3. Ideal hardware and software configuration for a server that would support upto 5000 simultaneous connections. (if we wish to implement clustering of Flash Comm Servers on different machines)

4. What are the technical considerations for setting up a cluster and what additional resources (equipments / software) would be required for the same.

5. Does a cluster require additional programming efforts in the backend (i.e. main.asc) or does it work transparently to the developer too.

Desperate for a reply as we are running behind project schedules and need to make a purchase decision asap.

Thanks
