AuctionAds Shows Off Its Rack

On the Official AuctionAds Blog CTO David Dellanave posted a picture of the hardware that powers AuctionAds and also some stats:

For the month of April we are averaging over 60 million hits per day. Thats roughly:

400 hits/sec at peak times
58 gigs of Javascript per day
134 gigs of HTML per day
16 gigs of RAM cache
1.1 gigs of MySQL (yes, only)

    Boooooo….I was thinking of another kind of rack! :(

  2. internet marketing blog

    Wow, that is some pretty impressive hardware! I’m really stunned at how little mysql bandwidth there is!

  3. ThirdChair

    Good to see the auctionads blog is taking off too. Seems that area is getting a ton of traffic too.

  4. Kalle

    Yea, and google overall :D Would like to see their main server :)

  5. uncle sha

    how much will that set you back?

    yeah btw misleading title! haha … linkbait alert!!

  6. Jay

    In some cases it can be bad but for the most part I think we’d all be better off if some global stats were published by the big networks, like I don’t see the problem with letting publishers know the percentage paid out on a click or action or for that matter what a sites CTR or CPM is..

  7. Jay

    Definately, though it makes you wonder how much computing power adsense uses

  8. Jay

    More then likely he wasn’t joking… Auctionads must be like printing your own money

  9. Jay

    Ya it’s impressive but don’t forget it’s just hits, I would be curious to see how many individual people auctionads reaches every day though

  10. Jay

    I’m actually not surprised.. I mean they are serving ad’s to 10,000+ websites.. That being said it certainly puts my own bandwidth useage to shame :(

  11. Hip Hop

    I was hoping to see some females

  12. coopreme

    well it’s not always good to share your stats…

  13. Brian Mark

    You know… we don’t do anywhere near that much traffic and our hardware isn’t that much different. I think I went overkill making sure we didn’t have any downtime. Better too much than too little, though. :D

  14. Brian Mark

    Pun, or just Jeremy’s spelling. Tough call. ;)

  15. Thor Schrock

    that would be an interesting spec to hear. I don’t know how you could guess based on the informatyion given, but I don’t see why Jeremy wouldn’t just give that info. I am sure its an insaine number as well.

  16. Thor Schrock

    LOL.. I think they misses the spelling of cashed… nice pun!

  17. coopreme

    that’s what she said… not really

  18. Daniel

    I guess from the number of hits once could calculate how many ads the network is serving daily, right?

  19. How to start a clothing line from scratch

    I just signed up for auction ads yesterday from an email I received….I will let you know how it works for me jeremy!

  20. Brent Hodgson

    Yeah, I can certainly see 1300+ diggers drooling over that machine. (Heck, even I did :P )

  21. ToddW

    Ya, it’s odd what gets digged and what doesn’t… err probably not :P tech = digg

  22. Great Dog Site.

    60 Million hits per day!

  23. Great Dog Site.

    That would make for one hell of a home computer. =P I bet it took an insane amount of thought to hook all that up.

  24. coopreme

    hmmm is it very efficient? by the looks of it, it seems so… any chance on licensing?

  25. Brent Hodgson

    Yeah, and it probably still won’t run the game “Crysis” when it comes out later on this year ;)

  26. Brent Hodgson

    I’m more impressed at the number of diggs!

    (Must be all the mentions of the word “rack” :P )

  27. ToddW

    Thats some serious computing power! Takes $ to make $ i gues :P

  28. Great Dog Site.

    What a rack!

  29. Brent

    Holy Moses that’s some data transfer! Hmm, looks like I take up about a whole 3 seconds worth of Auction Ads resources per day. :)

  30. SonicReducer

    That brings back nightmares of my day job. I’m so glad I don’t have to spend my time messing with that stuff anymore!

  31. Travel Notebook

    Its ShoeMoneycached

  32. Wealth Junkie

    Wow.. that’s a serious rack..

  33. ShoeMoney

    we use our own proprietary cashing technology ;)

  34. coop

    do yall use memcached?

  35. Lee Bandoni

    Nice bit of kit you have there, looking at the hardware prices its so much cheaper than UK Dell Kit :)

  36. Tim Linden

    I have a setup similar to that.. In my dreams.. LOL

  37. CPA Affiliates

    man that is some awesome stats!!!

  38. Travel Notebook

    Wow that thing is sexy!

  39. Ron Johnson
