Hi! We're considering using zope for a somewhat large project: It's a VPN for arround 10.000 institutions ( >100.000 users expected, up to 1.500.000 users possible, but not likely). Hundreds of simultaneous connections expected. The database has to support >100.000 users and a LOT of content (more than 1000 virtual hosts, along with a very big main site). The question is: Is zope up to this? And yes, the necessary hardware is available 8-). We've used Zope for smallish internal projects, but for something as this... Best regards, Tiago

Depends, would your site(s) be read-intensive, or write-intensive? If the former, it should hold fine (depending on how it is set up, of course), if the latyter, you may look into combining Zope with a seperate SQL server to hold write-intensive data. With ~1.5M users, The question is more related, from what I can tell of your situation, to how many users at a time will be connected, and how 'dynamic' the content is. Without more detail, I can't really answer much better. If you have the hardware: o a dedicated SQL server to hold member authentication data o a dedicated ZSS, or two running in failover o multiple ZEO Clients to support end-users, preferably behind some Linux Virtual Server failover/load balancing setups That should be able to handle pretty much what you describe with ease. :) -- E PLURIBUS LINUX

mydomain.com (I work for them, did the programming). There are 139216 members as I write this, and a couple hundred registrations each days. The system manages 315421 domains right now, but about 2000 new ones enter the database each day. The site gets about 500000 hits/day. Everything works wery well (everything is on one computer, Oracle 8.1.6 and Zope 2.2.2 behind a proxy rewrite rule for apache), EXCEPT for the Zope being unstable. I think the culprit is the Oracle DA and I've sent a message to this mailing list, but noone seems to know what happens... -- Petru Paler, mailto:ppetru@ppetru.net http://www.ppetru.net - ICQ: 41817235
hi, www.trouble.co.uk is suposed to get about 1M hits a day. For others check out: http://weblogs.userland.com/zopeNewbies/zopesites/ j. ...................... ..... Jason C. Leach ... University College of the Cariboo. .. On Sun, 5 Nov 2000, Tiago Antão wrote:

We've a High Availability architecture with more that 10 machines, a raid box, etc... We're thinking precisely in ZEO...
