We're going to buy a webserver dedicated for running an Exponential intranet. I've checked out which hardware configuration this site is running on as a referrence. Read more here : http://www.ez.no/developer/news/ez_publish_3_enterprise_setup_test
Also this page tells us something about system requirements for Exponential v.3.x: http://www.ez.no/products/ez_publish_3/requirements
But I'd like some suggestions on optimal hardware setups (including brand of motherboards and CPU) that's known to run good with my configuration:
Red Hat Linux, Apache 1.3/PHP v.4.3/MySQL v.4/PHP Accelerator v: latest stable.
In short; what's an optimal server hardware-configuration for a Exponential intrawebserver serving roughly 1000 users?
For my server I was thinking of an dual CPU-setup with AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2400+, 2Ghz with 2 GB RAM and a SCSI harddrive. But I'm not sure which brand of motherboard to choose, or if this setup will be overkill given the requirements..RAM: 2Gb RAM
Good suggestions?
