Real life situation.
I am doing a remote phone demo (Phone CFMX?) tomorrow to a potential
client (me, in Calif & he, in his Park Avenue office)..
I will use my TiBook, 1 GIG RAM, 800MHz, running:
CFMX Developer Linux ported to Mac OS X
Sybase ASE Developer (Native Mac OS X) (large database on 160 GIG
external firewire drive)
Text Editor for Copy/Paste -- the application includes Content
Management
Photoshop -- Images are part of the Content
mail, program, mail client -- email is part of the application
Interactive SQL Client -- Illustrate db results, manipulation, etc.
Browser - to conduct the demo
The client will come in on the 2nd IP address -- he will run against
CFMX & the Sybase db on the TiBook
I also need to run Win XP, so I can run win browsers -- I can do this
on the TiBook under emulation, but it degrades the performance of
everything else. (Running win also allows, the ability to run
PlaceWare demo, manipulate MS-Access dbs from Linux, GUI Text editors,
etc)
Rather, I would like to run win (native or emulation) on another box,
but I can't -- would require a third IP address.
It is quite common to demonstrate on more than 2 boxes -- to show
performance,interaction, different OSes, etc
If you use caching, you can do a fantastic demo of this CF strength, by
simulating network activity on 2 or more boxes.
This particular application/demonstration relies heavily on caching and
online update of content -- which illustrates:
what CF caching does for a site
what happens when content is updated -- cached queries are purged and
reissued -- all done by CF (with very little
help from the developer).
It really shows off CF's capabilities - and, in an on-site
presentation, you can do quite a demo with 3-5 boxes.
A later demo will include publishing and consuming web services.
At the very least, 3 IPs would let me see what the client sees on his
win box.
