I have MS Sql2008 running alongside FB 2.1 on 2 servers. Servers
running Windows 2003R2 server. Spec of machines is 2 x Xeon with data
on separate drives not system drive. 1 server is raid, other just
mirrored data drives. Both extract data from Sqlserver, and that takes
data from external sources. Daily working time from 6.00 am till 9.00
pm.
Never miss a beat (or more importantly - a transaction!) You should
not have any problems.
(I also have Fb running on Linux servers and that's my preference, but
not unfortunately, my clients.)
