Last I
checked, ColdFusion server was around $1300/server, unless you needed
enterprise, which is $6000/server.
Can you confirm that you can cluster with the non-enterprise
version? Even still, you are right that 6k is less than 20k, but for me, 6k is
still too expensive for remoting.

When
you start talking dedicated server prices can get quite
high.
Chassis, Power Supplies, Bandwidth man the costs keep going
up.
Hmm... bundling hosting/bandwidth costs into the cost of the server
is really a slippery slope. I was refering to one time costs. And its *hard*
to spend more than 5k on a 1 cpu server. Of course if you need a 20 terrabyte
raid thats another thing. But that would not be normal. Of course *all* the
costs of doing business could be applied as a form of burden on your
technology implementation and the analysis just becomes silly.
With
FDS i think the alternative is how much will it cost your development team
to produce the same result using another method.
My
take, I will be using FDS in our v2 development of our
Application.
My point is not that FDS is good and worth using for many
applications. My point is that for the cost of remoting (not all the other FDS
features) to go from $1000 (the old remoting price) to $20,000 per server for
apps that need to scale beyond one server is insane, and that when my app,
which only uses remoting, gets to the point where it needs to scale, I will
probably switch remoting technologies since it will be more cost effective
than the $40,000 (for two servers) that I will need to spend.
$40,000
as the entry price for a scalable solution is really too much for my blood.
For many companies 40k is nothing. But that aint
me.

Hank
