CMS sizing ??

I will try to complement Apoorv's blog
Apoorv Durga's Blog on Portals and Content Management whichever ways in which I can.


In one of the recent blogs, Apoorv mentioned sizing. That is one thing which I happen to have worked a lot on.

I will list a few things which I noticed about the content management systems that I worked on :

- It is the database access that kills.

- SQL Queries on the presentation layer tend to be a lot heavier than the queries on the Content management backend

- Unless and until you have a very simple presentation - it will always make sense to cache the presentation as HTML pages and serve that to customers instead of dynamic pages (of course everyone knows that)

- Even if the update frequency or volume is large (lets say more than a page a minute on an average) and the database size gets large - even the publishing process takes its toll. It is good to have an aggressive archiving for the content. In case Archiving is not feasible (after all it is a content management system) - a replicated database for presentation may be the only option.

- Coming to sizing you are likely to get a better projections by benchmarking against existing applications

- For benchmarking against existing application - you need to have page views per second for the most frequently used dynamic pages and the database size.

- If you have a benchmark - you can half the performance for every 10 times increase in data size

- Typically, if you can serve 7 pages per second by 1 CPU of application server and 2 CPU of database server for a non cached application - it is considered good performance. Typically the CMS pages which are updating "one content item" only can achieve this kind of performance for a database having 10 to 50 thousand content items.

- XML processing is usually a big killer, so if you are transferring around large structured documents using web services, and a document size is expected to be more than 20 KB then you have to really look at the performance. As per a benchmark I am doing now - 1 CPU can consume a web service returning 1 Meg data only 3 times a second. This is with it doing no processing at all - just a web service call using regular soap client. So as a thumb rule - if you are making web service calls - it will be a good start to halve the above benchmark of 7 pages per CPU on the app server to form a target to aim for.
- Some CMS have object or XML databases. I am not sure how you can size for them if the content size is beyond a certain size.
- Search engines fall in a different league. I am not sure how to size for them.

I have a question if anyone can help me answer : Can I use google desktop on my CMS server and let people search that ?

===============
"BREAKING NEWS"
===============

-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
lumber is 30-50 years.

Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
ensuring higher returns on investments.
T
he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.

Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
its initial 9-year cycle.

Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
250,000 infant plants per month.

Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

Conclusion:

The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
This s-t0ck will not be a Secret for long. Then You May Feel the Desire to Act Right
Now! And Please Watch This One Trade!!


GO EGTY!

Generic Viagra is used in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (impotence), but it is not a cure. Impotence can be caused by a number of factors, either physical or psychological. Viagra can help maintain an erection but it will not stimulate arousal.
