What server is required for........?

What kind of server would you need to host movie galleries...... about 17mbit average and peaks of 30mbit?
Running on Linux
Say 175,000 uniques a day.

... well, if you just burn bandwith and have no scripting stuff on it ... a 386 with 256MB RAM can do that, just make sure the disc is big enough and you have a 100Mbit networkcard installed ...

first i'd recommend FreeBSD over Linux any day for that kind of traffic.

but in any case, the hardware would be the same for both. if it's just hosting movies, a pII-500 w/ sufficiently sized SCSI drives and 1024MB of RAM will do it without breaking a sweat. more RAM would help you serve more movies simultaneously. make sure the motherboard you get supports more RAM if you think you'll grow significantly.

Movies are more bandwidth intensive than server intensive, so server requirements would not be that big of an issue. As other's have stated, a good dual PIII or P4 with a fast SCSI drive, and the right amount of memory will be sufficient....nothing really special...

Our Standard issue machine is a
Dual Proc p4 or Athlon 2xxx w/ 2gig ram, scsi raid 5 36gb.

The processing speed isnt really relevant, but we run an anti hotlinker system which needs alittle extra processing power. Whats really important are fast hard drives and ram.

Additionally, alittle extra power is good incase you ever decide to use your server for something more than straight html. Might as well always be prepared.

Hi Todd!

Actually, I've been around here quite a bit lately. While other boards may be nice when I want to have that "coffee and cake, chat with my old time friends" discussions, I like the intensity of this board and there are quite a few good threads here with no holds barred.

How are you doing my friend?

Go with a dell 1650 with dual 1.4 Ghz and 36x2 SCSI HD, make sure you have at least 1GIG ram in it 2 would be better.
