Hi,
tried to Google but can't find any answers. Required assistance here.
i need to set up an environment with approximately 6-10 VM servers - active users can go up to 10K
Basically i am trying to build a VM capable of hosting websites / web applications
Requirements is as follow:
- Concurrent active users might be up to 10k
- requires HA
- need to segregate Database and Webserver
- requires clustering for DB
- a backup server
- 1-2 web server (based on 10k users, how much ram & cpu do i have to allocate per server?)
- 2 x DB server (based on 10k users, how much ram & cpu do i have to allocate per server?)
- and other misc servers
- NIC teaming required + 1 backup LAN
what are the things needed for me to set this up?
a SAN? Requires 2 SAN? How many hdd required?
Should i be installing my ESXi on my SAN or Server itself?
How many physical servers required? 2 because i wanted HA?
Amount of Memory required? Type of Memory required?
Amount of HDD required? Type of HDD required?
Physical CPU required? is 8 or 16 cores per server enough?
1 or 2 physical CISCO switch?
1 or 2 fibre channel switch? or iSCSI?
Type of VMware license required?
Tape library? how big ?
What kind of backup software is good for VMs to help backup its snapshot or main VMs ?
