Hello, Could someone throw some light on how Hardware Sizing for an Internet project is done? What are the various parameters that need to be considered? How do you arrive at the 'best' hardware solution for the client? Thanks in advance.

Naturally, it's based on requirements. Your server and other hardware has to be able to handle the load. Don't forget to consider all the segments that the data will move over. A fractional T1 line might prove to be the bottleneck. You have to know how many pages you are going to have to serve up, which means that you need to estimate the number of concurrent users, what they will do on the site, etc.
Make sure that you go with a scaleable option. You would not want to have to replace the entire server in six months if volumes come in higher than predicted.
Bottom line is that it's based on what you expect traffic to be.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
