Tony,>>>The number of servers per center blows me away. How does this all work (anyone)?<<< This is what I've been trying to tell you all these years about the difference between mainframes and servers and how small servers are going to replace mainframes. Servers can do anything mainframes do - only better. You distribute applications and data over thousands of servers to improve performance and lower your cost. As an example, take SI's hot people for instance. If everyone is clicking on Paul Engel's and Ibexx's profile at the same time and reading what they have posted - the system slows down for everybody else reading other messages. But if you put all of Engel's or Ibexx's messages on servers of their own, all the people reading these messages will not impact anyone else. Same thing with Amazon.com. If Scumbria is spending a lot of time browsing the coloring books and ordering a lot of comic books, they would move all the comic book ordering application and the comic book database to other servers then all the decent folks can order serious books without being slowed down by Scumbria. Get the picture? Regards, Mary
