We are re-developing a D6 site to D7 and implementing Solr. Would appreciate advice on what server would handle this load. During the day, there is on average 1 onsite-search every minute. There are about 15 new nodes (news items) added every day containing about 300 words. Of the existing ~1200 (static) pages, 5 are changed every week. We do NOT want to index the content of attched docs (pdfs).
I am guessing this is a very light load. Is Tomcat really necessary or would Jetty handle it? Do we even need a Solr server?

Thanks

a site of that scale and low activity doesn't really need Solr. You could probably get away even with the DB backend to facet API if you need some basic facets.

jetty vs tomcat is more a server management question. They can both handle high load.
