So, David, care to share, from a high level, what those issues you found were and how they were addressed/resolved? ;^)>
**** As long as a U2 application is designed to scale, it should scale fairly well. Many of those applications that started serving smaller numbers of users, if & when such applications outgrew their "PICK platform or origin roots", had many adjustments made over time as their applications were ported to various other larger multi-user platforms, including Primes, using Prime Information, and VMark UniVerse, and UniData, over various UNIX Symmetric Multi Processor platforms, (Encore MultiMax, Sequent, Sequoia Fault Tolerant platforms, DG AVIONS, and a number of others). As long as bottlenecks are properley identified, addressed and maximized, (hw, or sw), then anything is nearly possible. <shameless plug> If your platform isn't scaling as it should, for whatever reason, then perhaps I could be of service? </shameless plug> ----- Original Message ----- From: "David T.
