Hi!

I'm in a project that aims to build a web page based on Thredds for painting 
grib files with the 
WMS. The grib files are approximately 500x500 points and the generated products 
 will be 
consumed by weather forecasters (it's got to be certainly fast generating the 
tiles). The number 
of concurrent users would be relatively small: more or less 30 users 
continuously connected (it 
could double under certain weather conditions).

I'd like to get a grasp of the characteristics of the computer that should host 
the web application 
and Thredds to be on the safe side. I'd need some concrete examples of machines 
you are using 
Thredds on: number of CPUs, RAM, hard disk type, whether you are using ZFS as 
said in [1], and 
any tip that could be useful to get a good performance. 

I'm asking more about hardware than about software configuration.

Thank you!
