[Owncloud] your setup info ??

[Michael Grosser]

It depends on the usage pattern and on the setup you have.
You have to separate the file backend needs and the pure ressources
needed for sync clients, webinterface, caldav etc.
For the backend needs it depends mostly on what storage you give users
and how much they really use. This is probably best done using a
network file storage, which is mounted so you have 10-15tb on your
hands.

Then depending on the number of sync clients you have to beef up the
specs. Sync clients are ressource intensive for the server. As are
caldav, carddav syncs.

Their are no real specs for 10k users as it mostly depends on the
usage type. The demo.owncloud.org instance for example is not a huge
machine and handles 1k-2k users per day and a few thousand pageviews.
Not many sync clients or *dav syncs. And easily cachable.
You could try reaching out to the tu-berlin it team. They run one of
the bigger real production setups of owncloud. And probably can tell
you more about usage patterns and "best practices".

Cheers Michael
