Thread:Manual talk:Installation requirements/Not just the minimum hardware requirements?

Hi all,

I'm trying to size hardware for a Mediawiki installation for around 2000 concurrent users. The documentation here states only the minimum requirements.

Currently I have a Xeon Quad Core running at 2.00GHz with 8GB Ram and two disks in a RAID 0 configuration. No additional software or servers installed (like squid). I simulated 50 concurrent users hitting the Special:Random page at 10 second intervals and CPU usage went to 50% with response times going down to around 5 seconds (which I figure is an acceptable maximum).

I could start optimizing but I'd like to know if there are any other recommendations other than the minimum. So for example a single server might be good up to say 100 users, after which one might need installing additional web servers.

Does anyone know where I can find such information?

Much appreciated!
