Using the PowerEdge 2850 as a webserver. traffic question HELP!
Before I buy this server, I want to know about how much traffic it can handle if used as a webserver.
I'm looking at setting this server up on a 20-40 Mbit/s connection (which could possibly be increased if I can get enough traffic). That is a lot of throughput. What is the bottleneck here? About how much could a set of users download off of my server at any given time? Yeah yeah, there are variables. I just need a ballpark figure. 5 megabytes a second? 50?
I have set up webservers on my own home connection on a normal desktop before but never like this, so if you have any other pointers for me, it would be great. Maybe there is a more appropriate system for me?
