Mobshare, our multimedia sharing network, will start using DNS rotation soon. With the current user growth and traffic, the server loads are expected to shoot up in 2 months time. By that time we will be setting up 5 servers. 3 servers are to serve http requests, 1 server will be database server and the other one for format conversion and processor intensive calculations. Activity calculations eat up processing power.
The decision to move all the content to amazon servers has proven to be successful. My friend from Botswana was very much impressed with speed of content delivery. Does Amazon have a datacenter in Africa ?

Mobshare is now using Amazon S3 storage for serving all the media uploaded by the users. The decision to move to Amazon happened after a server performance issue. A local daily featured Mobshare and our server couldn’t handle the load and the performance degraded. We lost a lot of new registrations that day because many couldnt sign up as the pages were loading very slow.
Amazon S3 was a easy option to offload the media. After switching to Amazon the server performance has gone up. But then again, Amazon is not a viable option in the long term. The threshold is 300Gb storage, when the amazon costs start exceeding the cost of dedicated content servers.
The future Mobshare will see dedicated content servers hosted in India.
