Sizing Concurrent Users & Connections in a Web Environment
Calculating concurrent connections for new web applications isn’t an exact science. Fortunately Sun published a guide with an overview of the sizing process that can be applied to most web applications.
In summary, here are various formulas that you may find useful in helping your customers size their environment:
maximum number of concurrent sessions = expected percent of users online * user base average time between page requests = how often a user requests a page concurrent users = number of concurrent sessions / average time between hits
You can read the full document on Sun’s website here.

About
My name is Catherine Liao and you're reading the latest postings of various blogs I follow. You'll notice that the topics tend to center around Cloud Computing, Data Center, Virtualization, Servers, Web Technologies and 24x7 Operations.
These are topics that I'm interested in as I've spent a large chunk of my professional career building, deploying, and maintaining 24x7 application delivery environments. I use the knowledge I've garnered daily in my role as a Technology Solutions Architect for Cisco. I should note that this site is my personal site and does not reflect the views of Cisco.
Feel free to drop me a note if you find this site useful or if you'd like for me to check out your blog. I can be reached at catherine.liao@gmail.com. You can also connect with me via LinkedIn or Twitter.
