Is there anyone who can tell me, how big and what kind of server www.dotnetnuke.com is using?
Because I have a little firm, and we hope, we will have about 500-700 online user at the same time. So we need to know:
Can dotnetnuke handle this on one server, and how must power will the server need?
Hope, anyone can answer my question ;-)

Peter -
I implimented our Intranet install of DNN 4.7.0 last fall on a server whos specs are:
Dell PowerEdge 2850
4 Xeon processors
8GB RAM
1TB disk space
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
SQL Server 2005 Standard is running on:
Dell PowerEdge 2850
2 Xeon processors
4GB RAM
1TB disk space
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise
Currently we have the application server (1st one listed) split into 4 Virtual Machines. The host server is split into 1/4's. So what that means is each VM uses one processor and 2GB of RAM. Each OS is set to have 15GB of disk space allocated and a seperate partition of around 200GB for the website. This is more than enough space for the application as it has a very small footprint after install.
The SQL server also has one VM on it and acts as our file server (SQL soon to be moved off there to a larger machine). Our company is global and has about 600 Active Directory users which log in on a daily basis into 4 different portals.
On a personal note, I run my 4.8.2 install and SQL 2005 Standard on a very small server out of my home and have developed many test portals for clients on it. Specs are as follows:
Generic make
AMD 2.4GHz processor
1GB RAM
3 HDD - 20GB for OS, 160 SQL Server, 100GB DNN.
Granted my website doesn't generate much traffic, it still works very well. I wouldn't recommend it for a business environment though.
