The TRIM user interface only runs on Windows clients (or something which is win32 compliant). There is a middleware server layer which also has to run on a win32 host (the workgroup and the master servers, which deal with business logic and caching). The document store can run on anything (include DOS file systems, SMB / CIFS shares, TOWER Technologies stores, IBM stores, FTP servers etc). The SQL database can run on heaps of things (DB2, SQL server, Oracle et al -- on any architecture). The bits that you need to worry about scaling are the document store and the SQL database, which can both be on unix boxen.
