[Geoserver-users] What Should Be the Specification of a Map Server to Serve Around 20 Users Simultaneously

Dear All,

I’d like to know what should be the (physical) specification of a Web Map Server to server around 20 users simultaneously with good performance.
Anyone please give me advice.
What should be the specification of a Map Server to deliver the maps with good performance If the users increase to 50?

Thank you very much in advance

Best Regards

Hello,

in my opinion this needs more specification what you are planning.

For example:

-What kind of data do you want to deliver? Postgis? Raster data? Shape files?

-How many data do you have? 1000 entries? 1.000.000 ?

-How complex is your styling?

-What kind of service do you need? Really wms? Or can you serve tiled maps?

-If you can serve tiled maps how dynamic is your data? Can you preseed the tiles?

-You are talking about 20 Users who are simultaneously using the service. Are they really using it simultaneously in the same seconds? Or do you have 20 users overall?

I would expect that a small server mit max. 4 CPU-cores and 16 GB memory with some fast HDDs or better SSD would be fast enough. But this is really a rule of thumb estimating which can vary enormous to bigger or smaller servers.

Cheers

Stefan

Hi Khun,
There’s no really good answer as it depends on where the data is coming from, what you’re doing with it etc. But for such a lower number of users, I suspect pretty much any old piece of kit will work (well, apart from a 486 :wink: ).

This may be of interest:
