Hi All,
I've just sent out a message inquiring the group's knowledge ofusage from other sites, however, I failed to follow up that post with configuration information from the group. I'm curious as to an effective and efficient way of setting up my environment. Our Environment I am specifically looking at the Win32 version of the Server/Client. Any client recommendations? I have been looking at BeIT's and Enyim's. We have 15-20 servers, running 64 bit OS (Win 2003 Server) with 8GB RAM per, ~6 can be devoted to memcached. We are looking to store different types of data, but most importantly for memcached to be storing rendered html pages, ranging in size from 100-300k. Ideally our TTL settings are around 10 minutes max. We get ~ 1000 page req/sec Questions: How many servers are you running on? Do you run on multiple ports from the same host? What are the benefits of this? On average, what's the memory usage range? Is there an optimal way of setting up the services? Do you cache a lot of information? What's a respectable size limit to keep the services running smoothly? How do you add memcached instances to the farm when an instance goes down? How do you add/remove instances smoothly? What's the best way to monitor all the instances? I'd appreciate any information in the matter. I'm only looking to get a better feel for the way I should be using it. James
