Magento infrastructure starts from 2 dedicated servers. Once the volume of a site has outgrown the processing power of a single server, a separate database has to be added to it as well as one or two front-end servers.
Our optimization techniques specific to Magento, along with an optimized site with classical behaviour, enable you to hit 50k user visit per day on each front-end server. A database is required every 4 to 5 front-end servers.
There is no upper limit to the number of unique visitors per day or number of servers that can be implemented. For 100k user visit per day and over, we recommend the use of our technology Extend To Cloud to absorb peak-loads and reduce costs.
Even if some of these solutions are just emerging publicly, most of them have been around for years now. Drupal Commerce & RBS Change are emerging players to watch and Virtuemart & Zen Cart, are already very famous in some countries, mainly the US. All of them are legitimate and really set the landscape of Opensource eCommerce solutions.
All those eCommerce solutions rely on PHP (thus Zend) and are optimally hosted on our VPS Hosting Solutions. Depending on the chosen framework, our team also add special settings to the Cloud instances.
