What does the hardware look like for a system with this many users ? Are they all running the same apps going after the same data ? Is UV/NET involved ? I curious on how you would scale up to a large number of users running the same application. Would you beef up the machine or would it be better to hook up a number of machines with UV/NET linking them together ? Anthony
