required hardware for high concurrent request

[User (Legacy)]

Hi,

I am planning to use IIS 5 and ASP pages to develop our reporting portal. We

are going to serve 20 different OLAP reports with one or two charts in each

report (probably bar or pie charts 'n PNG format). Our site will have 10000

named users and probably we will have 1000 concurrent web site users at peak

times. We are expecting 50 chart requests at the same time.

I wonder whether you can give some information about required hardware if we

use chartfx components. We have already one dedicated multidimensional

database server which will serve main data for the charts. Average response

time is lower than a second. But i am not sure about the graphic server.

What kind of hardware required to draw 50 or 100 charts in few seconds ?

thanks

Hello,

Since there are many different variables to consider it would not be prudent

for me to make any specific recommendations.  More than likely you will need

to set up a web farm with ChartFX installed on several machines.  This

sample demonstrates how you can stream an image directly to the client thus

allowing for load balancing and increased security

I would recommend that you review our performance white paper which should

highlight some important information that should prove helpful in your

decision making process

http://216.25.95.171/Download/CfxIE45/CFX_Perf_Scalability.pdf.  Secondly

you should review this article on our support web site on how to tweak

ChartFX's performance  http://support.softwarefx.com/kb/143/1/039.htm.
