Has anyone done tests and or have whitepares describing the preferred
scalability model for IIS 6.0? Scaling out vs. Scaling up....

I don't have the public papers handy, but we definitely did significant work
on tuning IIS6 to scale on 1P, 2P, 4P, and 8P. IIS5 pales in comparison.

Things like state-management, contention, etc are more likely problems, but
those are not necessarily issues with IIS 6.0 scalability -- they are
usually issues with the application code that need to be dealt with in order
to properly scale.

So, the real question is whether your code scales out or up. :-) If you find
IIS 6.0 to be the bottleneck, we'd like to know about it.

Hi David,

I'm not questioning the ability of IIS to scale. What I'm looking for is
facts and figures regarding the factor of scalability. I'm looking for the
"You will get 50%-80% more throughput on IIS if you scale from 1 to 2
processors but I can get up to 200% more throughput if you scale from 1 -
1cpu to 2 1cpu servers in NLB" for example.

What is the "Best Practice" or even best "Proven Practice" when it comes to
scaling IIS?
