It looks Europeana after a stellar launch has got into trouble as the site choked up owing to the massive flooding of users. The numbers crossed over ten million an hour and revealed the services failure to cope with the traffic it had to handle. The flaw was due to some errors with mistakes made by the team hosting the service and will cost them a hundred thousand euros topping €1 million launch budget and will re-launch mid December once this issue is resolved. This means there is more cash to spend as one of the developers said:

We recommended hardware load balancers, but it’s a question of money We didn’t have a budget to buy hardware.

Now each of those costs around €40,000, how many will they need?
