Server Sizing for Flash Interactive Media 3

Question

Hello,

I can't get anyone in sales to answer this question. Specs
say any Windows 2003 32bit OS and recommends 4MB RAM. But I would
like to put a powerful server dedicated to this function but don't
know if this software is capable of Hyperthreading. I can have one
or come CPU's all with multiple cores. Likewise I could install
Windows 2003 Enterprise Server and put in a lot more memory.

Obviously I don't want to throw money into processors,
Enterprise OS or more RAM if this software won't take advantage of
it.

Any help?

Thank you?

Okay here is an answer to my own post based upon what I've learned.

A single License of FIM3 will handle up to (2) physical processors limited to Dual Core. You cannot use (2) CPU's with Quad Core processors, this would require an additional server license on the same physical server.

FIM3 was also designed to minimize memory use. 4GB is recommended but 8GB RAM is preferred. The later of course will require an upgrade to Windows 2003 OS Enterprise Version.

My configuration below on a single server will handle streaming up to 1000 concurrent users with no problem.

Dell 2950 2U rack mount

(2) Dual Core Intel Xeon 3.0's with 4MB cache each. 1333Mhz Buss.

Windows 2003 Server, Enterprise Version, 32bit.

8GB DDR2 ECC Fully buffered RAM, 677Mhz.

(4) 300GB 15k SAS hard drives in RAID 10 configuration (600GB effective use).

Hope this helps all who search for server specs.
