Heiner Wurbs	Monday 24 May 2004 9:55:24 am Hi All, I'm thinking about the hardware requirements for a server to run eZ publish very fast. I assume, that there will be a traffic of about 10.000 users per day on the website, so the output should delivered very fast. Are there some recommendations? Are there some experience values, like a Pentium 4 with 3 GH and 2 GB RAM are enough to run eZ very fast or is a Celeron 2,4 GH and 500 MB RAM server is not enough? I found this page (http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/general_information/what_is_ez_publish/ez_publish_requirements), but this is not helpful. Regards, Heiner

There are several optimising steps you can take: - php accelerator, - compiling PHP in apache statically - use of cache blocks in templates - the newer the ezp version, the better. - clustering (more than one machine, like ez does for ez.no) - a static mirror (very low level of interaction) But still, ez publish is heavy in terms of resource usage. hth a bit -paul eZ Publish, eZ Find, Solr expert consulting and training http://twitter.com/paulborgermans
