Capacity Planning for a webcenter deployment
Aug 5 2009, 2:37 AM EDT | Post edited: Aug 5 2009, 2:37 AM EDT
I'm in the early stages of planning a Webcenter Suite implementation. WCI as the portal layer then the suite including UCM, blogs, wikis, web 2.0 services etc....

Its for an enterprise of 3000 users as an Intranet 2.0 solutions but also for an external audience of vendors and customers who will be able to see a customized portal site fo about 10 pages between us and them only.

Whats a good base line here to start with? servers / CPUs / DBs / load balanced machines etc.... We have an unlimited license agreement to use Webcenter so software instances is not an issue.

Thanks for any insight.

Is your application ready to be implemented on Pre-Production environment? If "YES" then I wud suggest you to do a seriers of load testing using VM-Ware or on Amazon EC2 Cloud. You can use Hammer-Ora or tools like Loadrunner/Silkperformer to repeat the load testing of DB/Application servers. If the Database is not in TB then I wud advice to go with an single instance Oracle 10g R2. Else prefer 3 node RAC on Dell Power edge servers/Intel Itanium or better processor and for load balancing it mainly depends on your req. there are a number of ways to provide load balanicing of both Oracle/Application servers you just gottu figure out which is better for your Infrastucture env :-)

Cheers,
