Thank you for using ASEAN Techline.
Kindly note that the sizing for the web server requested is based on the best-effort basis since we do not standardly support sizing for third
party web server applications.
The sizing is done using the IBM Web-based Workload Estimator, using Microsoft IIS 6.0 with the following assumptions.
1. Which version of Microsoft IIS will you be using? IIS 6.0
2. What is the total number of visits per second? 100 per second (90 mil page/month = 35 page/sec)
3. How many pages will be displayed per visit? 10 pages
4. How many objects will be displayed per page? 200 objects/page
5. How much storage should be allocated for web content? 100 GBs
6. Indicate what percent of the pages are Static and/or Dynamic. Static: 60.0%; Dynamic: 40.0%
7. What percent of pages will use processor-based SSL? Encrypted: 15.0%
8. Select the desired server form factor for this sizing. Rack-optimized
9. RAID Support for this workload: RAID-5
The recommended server as below, included buffer for a 50% growth on the workload and disk capacity.
x3650 with two (2) x 2.0GHz Intel 5140, 2GB Memory, 300GB Internal Disk
Please note that if the sizing results does not fit with the web server application required, kindly consult the software vendor to provide
sizing on the hardware requirement, so that we can provide server recommendation accordingly.
