To design an app capable of handling data pulls from approximately 10,000 users, utilizing Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is essential. A recommended server option for this application is Internet Information Services (IIS), which provides a robust platform for hosting WCF services. For further guidance on hosting and consuming WCF services, consulting the MSDN article is advisable, despite its age, as it offers foundational insights into server selection and configuration.

I want to design an app and will use WCF to pull data from a server, but I need to know how to pick the server to use. I am hoping to have about 10K people ( many be more) using this app. and they will be pulling data from this server. NO video nor audio file, just data like school , Schedule, times, name datas.

so how do I pick a server ?

The choice and combination(s) you can make is dependent on the application at hand. One option for a simple app like the one you describe would be to use IIS.
For more info about hosting and consuming WCF Services you can take a look at MSDN. The article is somewhat old but you'll get the hang of it.
