Hello,
I am spec'ing the purchase of a Tru64 Alpha Server for the sole purpose
of running on-line course software from "WebCT". We will probably be
running up to 300 on-line courses whose content may include web pages,
presentations (PowerPoint), quizzes and tests, chat facilities, a white
board program, and internal and external email. The system would have
to support about 7500-10000 users, not simultaneously of course. My
server specs are 1GB RAM, 9GB disk(s), and FDDI adapter. My budget is
kind of tight and $30,000 for the DS20 stretches me right to the end
of it. The DS10 with the same configuration comes in at about $20,000.
I would like to hear any experiences or opinions from you folks regarding
which server I should go for. My apologies if this question doesn't
exactly fit the purpose of this list but I know that the knowledge base
is here. Thanks in advance for you feedback.
