Hi Group,
Apologies if this is a bit OT (if so, please advise where it should be
posted).
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what applications could
work in a system where the server has a large storage and fast
processing speed, but the client is connected via a small bandwidth?
Assuming many clients could be connected simultaneously.
i.e. an image server would be out of the question, but an application
which retrieved some (small but useful) data from a vast database
using a query would be ideal. I just don't know of many examples; I
guess something like a song lyric server, or 'white paper' server.
Server performance I'm thinking of is 600GB HDD, 2GB ram and 3GHz
processor, roughly, and a bandwidth of 40 kilobytes/second with up to
10 people sharing.
Client would be a web browser running some html/script (hence posting
here).
A bit of a strange question!
Kind regards all!
Tim

A huge image archive where people only want to download infrequently,
possibly for educational/research purposes. For example a historic map
archive. There may be many simultaneous downloads, but where each
person only wants to download one picture, they may not be too
bothered by a long download time. For example something like a
'webshots' server would be out of the question because many people are
regularly downloading many images and they expect it to be fast.
