 |
|
How does a CAL affect users accessing web pages on a web server? Does
10 CAL mean that the server will only serve 10 users at a time?
Thank you in advance ... |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client_Access_License
It means that 10 clients can connect to the server simultaneously. The 11
client trying to connect to the server with 10 clients already connected
simultaneously, the 11th client is going to be denied the connection. This
applies to the Windows platform. |

Yeah that's why you don't see many popular sites hosted on Windows |
machines. I mean jeez, can you imagine having to buy a few million
licenses to allow the entire Internet to view your latest web site? No
wonder Gates is so fucking rich.
You are better advised to use Linux for your web hosting ;-) |

I am seriously thinking of using RAQ4s (Linux/Apache). Any thoughts? |

I am not sure if I have ever come across something as a web edition on |
eBay. Does it say Windows Server Web Edition? |

No Web server on Earth or even a Web server farm is hosting a few million
clients simultaneously. A Web Server or a Web server farm is a stateless
connection with each client and one uses a state server to maintain client
state, along with load balancing in a Web server farm solution. |

I wasn't aware that eBay was an authorized Microsoft distribution
partner.

"Designed for dedicated Web serving and hosting, Windows Server 2003 Web
Edition, delivers a single-purpose solution for Internet service
providers, application developers, and others who use or deploy specific
Web functionality. Windows Server 2003 Web Edition, takes advantage of
improvements in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, Microsoft

And for a full feature comparison of the various 2003 offerings, see

2008 offers similar, but I don't have the URLs handy. |
