[mapguide-users] capacity planning and scalability

[jtby]

Hi - I am new to mapguide and evaluating it against other GIS servers I have
been using.  Can anyone point me in the right direction for docs on mapguide
opensource for planning capacity and scale?

Lets say I want to support 1000 peak web users (each user pulling about 5
map draws per minute).  With mapguide, what is the architecture for doing
that?  Like do you just install a bunch of identical servers with mapguide
and IIS and cluster them, or are there other approaches like separating the
web tier from the GIS server tier, and / or server virtualization?  That is
to say, what is the approach for scaling a map guide server out in order to
be able to support 1000 peak web useres at 5 draws per minute, and what
server hardware recommendation for that?

Also, for bandwidth I believe I would be looking in the 155Mbps ballbark to
serve 1000 users with MapGuide servers, no?

Thanks for any advice or directions you can point me in.

JB
