IMHO the load will affect the hardware long before the content serve collapses
Slow would be the first sign 
Since Calibre costs zilch
and Linux costs 2x that
All you lose is time
BTW you could just run 2 x copies (2 servers, 2 library copies) |
No I don't think there will be 25000 concurrent students accessing calibre server at the same time... It could be 200 to 300 students downloading books directly every hour...
The server itself is a dell server 2950 Generation III with 64GB of memory and 2 x Intel Xeon Quad Core 2.66ghz 1333..
What did you mean by running two 4 servers ?
Did you mean clustering 4 servers in the following scenario:
2 web server and two database servers as libraries ?
