Firs of all, hi to everyone.
I don't really know if this one is the right place to make such question but if i'm wrong tell me plase.

I'm thinking about to install ezpublish product for a multimedia portal, and i would like to know (if anyone knows)
if ezpublish is able to dispatch 250.000.000 pages monthly. And if there's something to take care about. For the hardware part there's no problem. And for the network bandwith there will be no problem also. So my question is if the data model or anything has any limitation. I can give you more data if you need. And any answer is greatly appreciated.

Regards.

As far as i know, this will be no Problem because you can run ezPublish in cluster mode:

So the limitation is on your hardware.
more servers = more pages u can serve/month

Those pages shows ho to setup a ez cluster usign database for everything (caches, media files...), but this will increase the database load. It's also possible to use a NAS for this.

I think it should be good to add some doc at the ez website, for setting a cluster in the other way. (using NAS or something)

If money is not a issue then I would recommend a SAN setup, scales a lot better then NAS because eZ Publish uses the files system quite heavy(4.1 will improve the situation a bit, but SAN is still superior to NAS).
I have seen numbers from 80- 140 (local disk) 120 - 180 (SAN) req/second pr server, so this should be possible.
But since a webpage contains more then just the html (images, javascript, css, video), you should use a reverse proxy like Varnish in front independent on how you choos to setup eZ Publish to lighten the load on the backend server(s) and be able to have a decent headroom to scale on.

Another important aspect is how the traffic is distributed during the month / day. You need to plan to have capacity for the peaks, not the average. If 250.000.000 is the average per month (about 96 req/sec) you could have twice or even three times the amount of traffic during day time, but this depends on the type of site you have.
