ok...i cannot reveal the name of the company for which i am working for...although u ppl may get an idea when i describe wat project is all abt...
well its a news site....trafiic which this site gets at present is avg 200+ mbps/day......monthly bandwidth usage is avg. 200+GB
on a day like elections...ind pak cricket match...or the latest....Nafisa Joseph sucide case....traffic goes in 500+GB per days....
Now hardware with my company is sufficient...the major problem we face is a robust programming language....
Presently we r using ASP....the only reson for using ASP is ...making a new page or a module is extremly quick....but then....ASP has many issues...no garbage collection....compling of page every time they load....then biggest issue MICROSOFT compatibility ..!!my site provides streaming audio and video...and this feature is a huge huge hit overseas.....the currect application is an active x component...which is only compatible to MS.....
i beleive u ppl may hve got some basic idea for changing platform....
I personally feel .net is good option as it would be easy for our team to learn and code....but then powers of java...r amazing...
So plz guys help me if u can we hve to take decision before 15th AUG
Thnx
