We are new to the world of NT and SQL Server.
We are looking into build an application serving
500 concurrent users.

Is this feasible?
Should we play it safe and use UNIX...?

Help!

Perfectly feasible. Look for machine with 2+ pentiums and 128Mb+ ram
(or an alpha box). + a fast raid subsystem.

No problem we use it internally with more than 3000 concurrent users.

It is feasible and it is being done. SQL Server's storage limitation
is 4 terabytes I think so the rest is a question of architecture.
There is actually a great article on this debate in last month's
edition of Byte magazine.

Could you please mention the hardware configuration
of the machine which is supporting 500 concurrent
users.[I am assuming that concurrent means that all
of them show up as runnable/running in sp_who?].
Our system kinda starts slowing with 10 runnable
users at the same time.[I am aware that good
design, indexes, etc are important but I am still
interested in the hardware configuration.CPU,
memory, HD, striped or not, etc...]

Thank in Advance
Sameer
