Hello, I might be not clear with posting my query. Let me try again.
Actually, i want to know - how to "scale out" once you reach the limits to run openLdap in one single box? In one of the presentation created by Howard Chu - he mentions: The Road Ahead... • Work on scale-out, vs scale-up *– allow multi-terabyte DBs to be served without requiring a single giant server* ** So, thats what i want to know - What will be the ways to scale out, if we reach the highest limit of one single box. I hope this time, i made it more clear. Thanks and Regards, Gaurav Gugnani On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 12:29 PM, Gaurav Gugnani <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello Gibson, > > Thks for replying.
