July 9th, 2008Putting a corporate intranet into perspective
I work for a large multination company, which boast possibly the largest intranet in europe.
The microsoft parts of this intranet are taking, upto 9,000,000 hits per day, using an assumtion of 10 hits per page impressiion (GIFs, CSS etc) that is 900,000 page impressions per day, I can’t speak for the linux hosted parts as I don’t have access to ALL of the data.
Compare to an avarage joe-doe blog site or even the avarage small business web site (4,000 page impressions per day, this is real data from a small 10 employee ecommerce web site) that is quite impressive.
Then enter the BBC , from the BBC annual report “bbc.co.uk’s reach grew by 16.2 per cent over the year, with page impressions averaging over 3.6 billion per month.” that is 120 Million page impressions per day (or using the same assumption I made above 1.2 billion server hits per day)
one word
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
