No you have not missed anything, the point I was trying to make was
that not every customer is going to be a "heavy hitter" distribute them
accordingly and there wont be any trouble.
We have high traffic high usage customers, and they pay for a 1U
server, we see the small clients as perfect for FreeVSD, as we can pack
quite a few onto one system...
the majority of our VS customers do not use SQL at all, only the fp
server extensions, our server load is quite low,,,
I find great satisfaction in the statement regarding the 9 am email
pick up,, I thought I was the only one who sweats bullets every morning
for an hour....
