Hi,
I need to decide the server hardware configuration for the postgres
database.
I have the following information for sizing:
concurrent users: 100
Total data traferred throughout a day to the database: 10GB
Total database storage size required: 3TB
I am planning to virtualize it using vmware ESXi.
Please let me know if 10 core, 64bit Intel CPU, 24GB RAM sufficient for the
above requirements.
Thanks
Ramkumar

Who knows?
100 mostly idle users doing small optimized selects is a far cry from 80
users with rapid response requirements doing a constant heavy stream of
inserts and updates to tables with multiple indexes and foreign-key
constraints while the other 20 are doing large reporting and analytics
queries. Both use-cases match the above description.
To get a useful answer you will need to provide lots more detail about
the nature of the workload and expected responsiveness.
Cheers,
Steve
