Hello! I need to specify a hardware to purchase a Web Server (Windows 2008 with IIS). The only information I have is that the server can have up to 2000 concurrent connections. Is there a formula or rule to define the hardware to a new IIS server? Thanks!

Hi, Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration, and the applications and features you choose to install. Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 System Requirements http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/system-requirements.aspx Licensing Windows Web Server 2008 R2 http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/licensing-web-server.aspx I suggest discussing it in our IIS forum.
