I would much rather do something like take the screen of updates from your real-time inventory and update all the static pages in the background, then run the site using Thunderstone [dynamic publishing software], so you're delivering flat pages all the time. Then you've got the maximum scalable system. |
It wasn't financially feasible, ... We have relatively small sites, and it was too expensive for us. We would have had to pay for the construction from the nearest ring into our facilities. So there was quite a bit of capital costs, digging-up-the-parking-lot-type costs. |
Segment your architecture so you have lots of smaller machines ... handling one application. |
We figure that [building capacity for] six to eight times the average load is what we need to not have to turn anybody away. ... Our big days are around a million page views. We think that on the biggest day, we'll probably get two and a half to 3 million [page views]. |
We're in a 20-floor building, and there are two to three tenants on each floor. When is it going to be worth [a carrier's] time to get us up on fiber? |
