Hi, I'm relatively new to varnish (I'm having an eye on it since it appeared in public, but so far never really used it). Now the time may have come to give it whirl. And am wondering if someone could give me a little advise to get me going.
The challenge is to server 20+ million image files, I guess with up to 1500 req/sec at peak. The files tend to be small, most of them in a range of 5-50 k. Currently the image store is about 400 GB in size (and growing every day). The access pattern is very random, so it will be very unlikely that any size of RAM will be big enough... Now my question is: what kind of hardware would I need? Lots of RAM seems to be obvious, what ever "a lot" may be...What about the disk subsystem? Should I look into something like RAID-0 with many disk to push the IO-performance? Thanks in advance, Sascha _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list varnish-misc@projects.linpro.no http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
