A good point to make here is that averages are generally a poor calculation to use when planning for load, since your systems have to handle the peaks as well as the average. I know this, fought a number of fights over it at my last job - don't know why I just quoted you averages!
If 99% of your 1000 hits occur between 7:59 AM and 8:01 AM (some sort of workday login validaton system perhaps ) then obviously you need to handle as many as 500 a minute or more. So it may vary from average quite a bit based on your peak times - that will be good information to research as part of your planning process. Dan On 8/10/06, Dan Buettner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
No, 1000 hits / day isn't terribly high traffic, if you're serving pretty normal "stuff". That averages out to a hit every 32 seconds or so during the course of an 8 to 5 business day, a hit every 86 seconds or so in a full day. No problems at that level. When you get to 1000 hits / minute, then you're talking high traffic!
