Okay, let's pretend I have a ton of 10k pictures. By a ton, I do not mean 2,000 pictures, but 100 million. Then, let's I will have to server tons of these pictures every day (millions of requests per day). Now, in order to serve these pictures what sort of hardware would I need? I have no knowledge about this sort of stuff am just curious... Would this work?
Get the Dell PowerVault 220S to store the images
Connect 4 or 5 low end Web servers that run thttpd to this storage array (could I even do that?)
Connect those web servers to a load balancer, so I can address it like this: images.mysite.com.
Could I even have that sort of setup? If so, is it the best setup?
