The Web Server delivers web pages and data to connected users. Each Web Server can support up to 450 concurrent users of a Chancery SMS system. Typically, the number of concurrent users on a system is 60% of the number of potential users. Where two to five Web Servers are employed, we recommend balancing the load between the servers using a software or hardware load balancing solution. For six or more Web Servers, we recommend employing a dedicated hardware load balancer on either a router or a switch [Figure 166].
We recommend that each Web Server have the following characteristics:
| = | Dual Intel Xeon 3.2GHz HTT processors with 1MB Cache or better |
Or dual AMD Opteron processors, Model 852 or better
Note: Using several dual processor Web Servers is more efficient than using fewer servers with more processors.
| = | 4 GB RAM |
| = | Dual 36 GB drives |
We recommend that the drives be configured as RAID1 to provide redundancy in case of failure.
| = | Two network interface cards (NICs) |
| = | Microsoft®Windows® Server 2003 R2 SP2 32-bit or Windows Server 2008® R1 32-bit |
| = | Chancery SMSWeb Components |
| = | Microsoft .NET Framework® 3.5 SP1, 4.0 |
