Hello all:
I have been put in charge of testing various
configurations to determine which has the most efficient use of CPU time and
which can support the most users. Note we have a shoestring budget for
this.
I am new to the servlet game so this is what I have
to work with right now.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN:
Clients connect to our servers and run a java
application via servlets.
DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS:(which is more
efficient?)
Servers:
Tomcat(alone)
Tomcat(with Apache)
Apache(with Resin)
Any other free/cheap ones you may suggest. We
only need to be able to run servlets.
Operating Systems:
Win 2k server
Some Linux distro
JRE:
IBM
Sun
Others?
We have done some preliminary testing and found
that a server with a 1.4GHz and 1GB ram can only handle about 10-15 users.
Is this about right? Or should it be higher? We are hoping for up to
40 or 50 and maybe even 100.
Also, we are looking for some server stress testing
software for simulating many users trying the server. Again, we are trying
to operate on a smallish budget.
Any help you guys/gals could provide would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
-Jason ************************************************************************************ Jason R.
