A Peek Behind the Curtain at Myspace
Posted by Dave Evans
Markus links to a video of Myspace CTO talking about how they pay billg a lot of money to run the site on ASP.NET. When they had 65 million users, 250 servers were used to just serve up the homepage! The performance gains cannot be denied, but still, I think most of the complexity is managing the amount of traffic they get (load balancing and media servers type stuff), not anything particularly tricky. Then again, I'm sure there are all sorts of crazy hacks they've done to keep the site running.

Limelight networks does all the image and media serving so I can't see there being a heck of a lot of servers needed for that.
