Works very well.
We are running Firebird on both windows and FreeBSD servers, powered by HP
Blades, hosted in VMWare ESX 3 VM's, and storage on an HP MSA2000 Fibre channel
SAN with 12x 15krpm SAS drives in RAID5.
can't give any firm numbers, but peaks of 600 users connected have been seen,
and no ill effects. Yet to really push it. Got some big geospatial number
crunching coming up soon - that should make it think a bit!
Nige.
