Webcast Lets 38 Million Chinese Soccer Fans Enjoy Live World Cup Action
Overview The Chinese soccer team was preparing for its World Cup debut in the 2002 games. The challenge facing China was to design a fail-proof system that would provide immediate, uninterrupted access to millions of users during the live broadcast of World Cup Soccer, even with huge surges in traffic. They installed a distribution network with 50 web appliances, powered by Intel PRO Gigabit Network Connections, to handle the expected explosion in web-traffic volume during the 5-day event. Using Intel Pentium III and Intel Pentium 4 processors for high-performance processing, as well as Intel PRO/1000 XT Server Adapters for maximum throughput, each Array 1000 Series Web Traffic Manager effectively handled 20,000 to 30,000 connections per second.
