Is there someone that can give me some idea how many servers are working to serve the DNN site?  There are often 1,000 users and I am curious how much horse power it takes to serve up these pages to this many users. Is there a server farm or ???  thanks

Michael, For a point or reference, I have a DNN install that servers about 3,000 users and between 70,000-80,000 pages daily. It sits on 2 web-heads (IBM xSeries 335, dual Xeons, 2GB RAM). The primary database server is an IBM 4 CPU x3850 with 4GB RAM, the DB is replicated to a secondary SQL server for redundancy.

I should note that this set-up also supports an enterprise EDI application and 2 small websites (both DNN.) Even at peak load, this configuration rarely exceeds 25% compactly. So supporting 1,000 users on a single web-head is very possible, as long as the DB is on a separate box (which it should be anyway for security.)

HTH

dotnetnuke.com used to be on just one box for a very long time.  I know they were planning to make it 2, but dont know if that has been done or not.  Its hosted at maximumasp - they are really good for large sites.
