Site Limitation in a Portal

Asked By: Travon Knowles Date: Aug 21, 2006 Category: Sharepoint Views: 204

Is there any limitation on the number of WSS sites a portal can have. Currently the number of sites in our portal is 5000+,
top-level sites - 1000+, remaining being subsites to these top level sites.

At present we are having one Web server and one Database server.

We expect to total number of sites to go up to a max of 30000. How will it impact the performance and accessibility.
What are your suggestions?
