Multiple portals will drive up the module licensing costs considerably.

 

Licensing varies greatly. There are licenses per portal, per dnn installation, per server and unlimited severs.

Paul,

I am evaluating DNN for a large implementation consisting of a single very high volume (up to 10M hits per day) site and a large number (a couple of thousand) of lower volume sites.  The smaller "microsites" typically are displayed in an IFrame on a partner's site.

My question concerns DNNs support for a large number of sites (not sure but I think DNN refers to each of these as a portal).  Sounds like it would be a huge problem in server loading if we ran all the sites on a single instance but running each of them on a separate install doesn't allow us to manage them as a group (and is totally impractical for the number of sites we are talking about!).

Am I missing something?  This seems pretty much like a showstopper for us and I was very much hoping to use an open source solution.

Comments appreciated.

Eric

For 10M/day you should have more than one server. That's in general regardless of what technology you're using. Windows vs Linux or asp.net vs php ..etc.

Clearly for this kind of traffic we need more than one server!  We currently serve the primary website with 10 (very lightly loaded) servers and the microsites with 5 more servers. Currently all of these servers is configured the same.  It would make life massively more difficult if we had to manage each of these machine configs separately.

Due to earlier comments in this thread, it soulds like setting up a set of servers with a large number of sites is very problematic.  I would love to hear about any workarounds that people have come up with.

Eric
