People are constantly doubting the abilities of .NET and SQL Server when it comes to enterprise capabilities. For this reason, I'd like to keep track of some stats from popular applications. One of these is My Space, which has been using .NET 2.0 since before it's official release. Before that, the application was built using Cold Fusion. As for the metrics, My Space gets 2-2.5 billion page views per day and has an average of 4-5 million simultaneous users. Compared to the Cold Fusion system, the server load decreased by 2/3. While it may be an interesting statistic, the performance difference between Cold Fusion and .NET shouldn't be the focal point. The true point of this post is the load .NET can handle. If I get more numbers from other systems, I'll post them as well.
