<br>
I think a pretty modest server suffices. <br>
Mapproxy uses very little CPU. <br>
Disk IOPS is low, because MapProxy serves full tile files which is
much easier to deliver than for instance database index data.<br>
You may need a lot of disk space, because tile sets can be huge.
If you are using a linux file system, remember to format the disk
with enough inodes. On a default formatted disk, you may run out
of inodes way before you run out of disk space.<br>
<br>
Of course, if you expect to deliver millions of tiles per hour,
you should provide the necessary resources for that, but you may
discover that the internet bandbwidth will be the major
bottle-neck in delivery performance.<br>
<br>
For resource calculation consider:<br>
1. wat is the expected total number of tiles ? => disk space
and inodes<br>
2. how many tiles should be delivered per minute at peak moments?
=> number of tiles x average tile size / 60 sec = bandwidth
(bytes / sec)<br>
3. peak minute number of tiles / 60 sec = maximum average disk
seek time<br>
