Question

Coldfusion 11 Standard

We need to purchase a Coldfusion 11 license shortly and looking to know if Coldfusion 11 Standard edition will be OK for what we are running:

We have 3 websites running on a single server with spec:

Windows 2008 Server R2 Enterprise 64-bit

Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 V2 @3.20Ghz

32 GB Ram

2TB HDD

We are currently running Coldfusion 11 Trial (Enterprise) which expires soon.

Our 3 sites mostly use:

MySQL 5 Datasources

cflogin, cfloginuser, GetAuthUser, GetUserRoles, IsUserInAnyRole, IsUserLoggedIn etc. security functions

cffileupload function

Custom Tags

cfmail - need to be able to Log all E-mail messages sent by ColdFusion

Daily running of scheduled tasks

Excel Spreadsheet creation with cfcontent

we also need to be able to change settings in coldfusion administrator mainly:

(1) Default ScriptSrc Directory, Maximum size of post data (for large file uploads of 1gb)  & Request Throttle Memory.

will 'Request Size Limits' ('Settings' section) be greyed out in Standard edition as well as 'Request Limits' ('Request Tuning' section)? or is it just the Request Tuning section?

(2) Memory Variables - need to be able to amend all options in this section.

(3) Mappings - need to be able to add mappings

(4) Java and JVM - need to be able to add Coldfusion class paths

Also, will the Web Server Configuration tool still work?

We don't need features such as ORM text search, Web sockets or Solr.

    thanks,

    just need clarification though on the following which are unavailable in Standard Edition.


    (1) Request limit management - what can i change/not change in coldfusion administrator? can i change Maximum size of post data for example?


    (2) High-scalability email engine - how does this affect cfmail?

    You can change the maximum size of post data in Standard Edition.  Most of the throttles placed on Standard Edition relate to limiting processes to single-threads. So, for example, email will be single-threaded. This may not be an issue unless you send out mass-mailings - but even then, there are workarounds using 3rd party mail services with APIs.

    I don't have CF11, but here is a screenshot from my CF10 Standard Edition server with regard to the Request Tuning.
