Eric:   Thanks,   Jack From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric D Anderson Sent: Friday, June 30, 2006 6:14 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] What is the difference between versions of Flex Data Services Hi, To clarify: FDS Express COST: Free LIMITATIONS: no more than one application per CPU.  No clustering (through J2EE) or load balancing (through hardware or software load balancing) allowed.  No multi-CPU deployments of FDS allowed. NOTES: Multiple applications per 1 CPU ok, 1 dual-core CPU ok. FDS Dept COST: 6K per CPU LIMITATIONS: No more than 100 concurrent users per application.   NOTES: Can deploy on multiple CPUs, clusters, with load balancing. FDS Enterprise COST: MSRP 20K per CPU (work with Adobe sales for the price that is appropriate for your project) LIMITATIONS: none NOTES: Hope this helps.

I am in awe. Hank But has anybody bothered to call and ask Adobe what this all means or are we all relying on speculation and gossip of a news list and based on that information, judging Adobe to have priced themselves out of the market. I suspect a company as experienced as Adobe is very much aware of the market and what other similar technologies go for. I would suspect the way it might work is that a large organization would have a FDS server that many other servers talk to for the FDS tasks. This is supposed to be a multi-tier concept is it not? Do you guys running large enterprise systems put an Oracle database server on all your web servers? We do not. That is my uniformed 2cents. And since I know our organization can get by for a long time on the free version and maybe, eventually, someday the 6k version; when and if we get around to using FDS in the first place. So far what I have played with works very well with the ColdFusion flash remoting connection, which is a free upgrade to our ColdFusion license. I am not too concerned about the large version for the foreseeable future. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 |   | ---------  Binary Soduko |   |   | --------- "C code.
