From: Evan Harris
you still have no database sizings, no user numbers,
no transaction volume ... nothing that would allow an
alternate solution or proposal to be developed or costed ...

We develop software for K-12 schools. Let's say an average school district of
20,000 students and 1,000 faculty. Parents and students may be connecting to
servers to work with assignments, instructions, curriculum, audio/visual media,
tests, grades, attendance, standardized assessments, student demographic data,
bus schedules, locker assignments, health & immunization, education plans,
course requests, messages, etc. Teachers would be maintaining grade-book data,
recording attendance, etc. Counselors and Administrators performing queries and

maintenance, too. Batch reports. State reporting. Data exports. Perhaps up
to 10,000 concurrent HTTP server connections. Perhaps up to 2,000,000 requests
per hour for dynamically generated content and DB updates. Perhaps 300 DB
tables, 800 indexes or SQL views. A dozen tables may have 1-2 million records
each.

I've shared a link to a promotional video in the past, but just in case anyone
might be interested in the UI:

What sort of platform (hardware, OS, Database) are we needing?
