Dolphin - Scaling and Performance
Does anyone care to share there opinion and experience on scallability and performance issues of your dolphin implementation. I am soliciting infomation such as 4 dual core linux server with XX memory etc. I don't want to get into topics like hosting, godaddy etc. Just plain and simple answers (may not simple) like CPU, memory, number of servers etc.
Reference scenario
1. One million users.
2. 10k concurrent
3. Site has all the features like videos, blogs, music etc (all dolphin out-of-the box features)
4. Database, MYSQL or anyother that you are using or suggest.
5. 24 hours operation. So has anyone using clusters or maybe even use Amazon's EC3 for scalling.
I am sorry if someone thinks this is a "forums" post. I am not seeking answers but a discussion. This will help someone like me to plan for my sites growth.
Thanks.
The new Dolphin solution is powered by UNA Community Management System.
You will never be totally unique with dolphin such as a myspace or facebook without big time customizations. 1 million users and 10,000 concurrent is a big number. You're not going to do that on a single server. Some kind of clustering would probably be more suitable.
If you have the budget you might be able to hire some to do a bunch to your site. But bottom line is all dolphin is the same core programming. Myspace see more
Thanks for the information.
I agree it is going to be expensive. But i was hoping some one would share some of there experience on improving dolphin's performance in addition to investing in infrastructure. Has anyone setup a dolphin cluster? has anyone put dolphin code amazon's EC2?
Once again thanks.
Only person I know that uses clustering is the member and moderator cyberxing which runs a dolphin hosting business and rms service.
Clustering is a nice concept and decent idea, but setting it up and managing it is a little more complicted than a normal dedicated box. And it's a little pricy for one to just get a cluster setup just for fun and to see what can be done with it.
So on this forum and see more
