Brazilian MVP Aurelio “Baboo” Minerbo, has recently migrated a forum application written in PHP to Windows Server 2008 + IIS7 with excellent results. The site experienced stability problems when 9,000 users were concurrently connected. However, since the migration the site can now handle more than 22,000 users!

Aurelio, noted that the company has increased flexibility, because it can successfully run both PHP and Microsoft® ASP.NET applications on Windows Server 2008, and Baboo, is planning to add new features to attract even more users.

As a result of the migration, Baboo has seen a significant rise in user registrations and advertising revenue has also increased. You can read more about the migration as a Microsoft case study.
