RE: [flexcoders] What is the difference between versions of Flex Data Services

Matt:
 
Regarding "How many CPUs does your application interact with . . ."
 
For example . . .
 
Are you saying a server where the Flex app resides is 1 CPU and the server
that has MySQL is a second CPU?  Which means I need 2 CPU license?
 
Thanks,
 
Jack

No, the key here is the idea of an application.  How many CPUs does your application potentially interact with (which often means how many CPUs behind the load-balancer, not how many a given app touches).  In FDS Express your application can only potentially talk to one CPU, and you get that for free.  In departmental 100 concurrent users can interact with your potential CPUs at $6K a CPU.  Full license is as many users as you want across all the CPUs.

We’ll be working in an improved pricing page that gets into more gory details over the next week hopefully.

There are two types of clustering. One type involves the FDS sharing information between nodes. The second type is for remoting, and other similar services where basic load balancers are used.

Does the express license allow us to use load balancers where there is no FDS clustering involved?

Is this going to hold true as processors continue to get faster or will Adobe change their licensing model?

For instance, IBM just made a chip that will run at 350GHz at room temperature.

It seems like that might be able to handle more then 100 connections.

A departmental server often needs a server for testing and perhaps one other server for failover.  We want you to be able to support this configuration so we have an option of $6k/cpu but no matter how many CPUs you have you cannot have more than 100 concurrent users.

For enterprise you pay per CPU and your configuration can be whatever you please with as many users as you can handle.

HTH,

Matt

So you think you *can* cluster the 6k version of the product but they
only allow you 100 users?

Does that mean that for 20k the enterprise version gives you unlimited
users over an unlimited number of CPU's? I bet this isnt so. So I am
still confused as to what the difference between the 6k and the free
product is.
