13. DotNetNuke Baseline Performance Overview Scenario: 2,000 websites on 1 front-end web server with databases on 1 back-end SQL server, both running Windows Server 2003 SP1. 400 websites were configured per application pool, with a total of 5 app pools. ASP.NET v1.1 ran in Medium Trust and we removed browserCaps and mobile support. IIS 6.0 had memory-based recycling enabled for app pools to ensure the system never reached unhealthy limits (private bytes=700MB, virtual bytes=1300MB) and an increased kernel request queue (5,000). Each test ran for 12-hours.

14. DotNetNuke Baseline Performance Results DotNetNuke Results Pages requested: 8 Requests-per-second: 611 Pages-per-second: 20 Total HTTP requests: 26,526,776 Average working set: 12MB Average response time: 42msec Hardware: Each server had (2) 3.6Ghz HT processors and 4GB RAM
