Hi gurus, talking about experience, looking into the documentation I came up to this: Up to 500 users Single ISA Server computer with Pentium II, 300 MHz 256Mb RAM 2-4 Gigabytes Cache 500-1,000 users Single ISA Server computer with two Pentium III, 550 MHz processors 256Mb RAM 10 Gigabytes Cache More than 1,000 users Two ISA Server computers, each with Pentium III, 550 MHz, processors 256Mb RAM for each server 10 Gigabytes for each server I'm planning to deploy a firewall with caching capabilities for 650 users and 3 web servers with less than 100 hits/sec. The problem is that the customer has only a one processor ISA license, but a Intex XEON 2GHZ server with 1GB RAM and 32GB disk available. I truly fell this will handle the job very well, but how can I be sure? Should I recommend a second server?
