My company is planning one new big web app.
We are expecting around 250K hits per day in the first month.
I'm used to work with large traffic sites, but using Apache and Lighttpd, etc.
But for this project the client want .NET to be the tool. So I'm really sceptic about IIS as Webserver.
What is your advise? Use IIS?
How to scale IIS?
Is it possible do handle this amount of Traffic?
The versions of IIS in Windows 2003 are diferent from the ones in Windows 2008?
Regards,
Pedro
Answer
You'll probably want to go with Server 2008 since that has IIS7. Don't buy the FUD about IIS. When was the last time you heard about microsoft.com being down?
Poke around on the netcraft.com site and you'll not be skeptical anymore.
Here is a great resource about what's coming up in the Web Farm Framework for IIS 7 that has to do with scaling, load balancing, and provisioning.
