Hi All,
Planning to store musics,video files similar to youtube,
To run youtube.com kind of web server, what kind of server hardware setup
needed ??
Kindly give suggestions on hardwares spec for the above kind of server
setup.
I do not think I can do better than the others who replied in this
excellent thread.
I would concur with the view that you should build scalability from
ground up and provision for the immediate need and bare minimum.
You can always add hardware resources as you move along.
Take a cue from the telephony provisioning practices and traffic arrival
rates.
You need to evaluate that and then go for expansion.
For the math oriented, does "Poisson distribution" or Bell Curve ring a
bell?
Anyway I am needlessly complicating.
No need to get into all that. Just plan for scaling. This means that
you should already know how to do load balancing and HTTP redirection
and take care of session persistence.
Then you can add new machines and IP addresses to the pool
easily.
Also think of p2p filesharing as
that does not need impose high loads with burgeoning traffic. You
share the loads with the downloaders. Use bittorrent if possible.
Things like that. Best of luck.
Ever yours,
Girish
