[OSGeo-Discuss] OS Spatial environment 'sizing'

[Bruce.Bannerman at dpi.vic.gov.au]

IMO:


Hello everyone,

I'm trying to get a feel for server 'sizing' for a **hypothetical** 
Corporate environment to support OS Spatial apps.



Assume that:

- this is a dedicated environment to allow the use of OS Spatial 
applications to serve Corporate OGC Services.

- the applications of interest are GeoServer, Deegree, GeoNetwork, 
MapServer, MapGuide and Postgres/PostGIS. 

- the environment may need to scale relatively quickly. 

- it will be required to serve in the vicinty of 5 to 10 TB of data 
initially (WMS, WFS, WCS).



Can anyone shed some light on the following questions please?

- I'm assuming a Linux installation (SLES, Redhat or Debian) or possibly 
Intel Solaris. Has anyone experienced any issues in these (or other) 
environments that they'd like to share?

- Are there any recommendations as to dedicated network bandwidth that 
should be allocated?

- Has anyone done any work with load balancing and would like to share 
their experiences?

- Of the above OS Spatial products, which ones could co-exist on the same 
server (excluding Postgres/PostGIS)?


Any thoughts are appreciated.
