RE: UKNM: How much is enough

[Julie Pearce]

There are a number of considerations relating to bandwidth.


Overall people require more and more bandwidth, as you say.  One of the

worst consequences is that you now have users waiting for slower servers ...


Not an answer, but I understand that there are calculations to assist you in

identifying how much bandwidth you need, these are :-


# of users

weight of pages

peak times


Most ISPs have fixed rates to host a server, irrespective of what it's

running. Actually, we're looking to set up some partnerships with ISPs so

that they can add value to their offering - giving clients the opportunity

to use Mediasurface through their hosted servers.


If this type of thing is of interest to you, or anyone else on the list,

drop me a line directly.


Cheers

Subject: UKNM: How much is enough



If asked the question "how much bandwidth should I have for my wonderful new

website?", I'm sure everyone would say as much as you can afford.  Does

anyone

have any useful rules of thumb though for when we should upgrade, I need to

try

and justify spend to my director.


Also, could anyone on the list tell me about their ability to host a website

running large server side java applications, and interacting with an oracle

database.


Please reply directly to me


Cheers


Chas
