Thousands? I don't even want to have this discussion until you're talking hundreds of thousands, and how many hits per second. I know you like to talk down the problem, but that really isn't helping. We run 5 DSpace instances, three of these are systems with hundreds of thousands of items, and it's dog slow and immensely resource-intensive. And yes, we want these to be single systems. Why shouldn't we? We have other systems here at the University that are much bigger, do similar things and require far, far less in terms of resources. -- Tom De Mulder <[email protected]> - Cambridge University Computing Service +44 1223 3 31843 - New Museums Site, Pembroke Street, Cambridge CB2 3QH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
