Some estimates from the files and prototyped code:
a) 1 million users
b) each user performs 20 transactions/day
c) half of the transactions are read-only
d) total data amounts to 50 million objects
e) average transactions affect 10 objects each, either reading or writing.
f) physically, the overall system is very centralized. If there are
clustered servers, they will all be in racks in the same hosting location.
g) uptime is a priority, so the system must have failover capability.
Comments on the suitability of Ozone?
