Hi, I would just like clarify some points made here, and thats in the positioning of some of the products mentioned, namely Open UNIX vs Openserver.
Caldera Openserver, while extremely scalable, is designated as a small to medium business offering. This is traditionally the space SCO played in years ago and hence why Openserver is so popular still.
Open UNIX 8 by contrast is an enterprise Intel based Unix offering, offering enterprise features like higher scalability, a more advanced VXFS file-system and more.
While we have customers running in excess of 1000 concurrent users on Openserver 5, we do recommend Open UNIX for large sites like this. We have seen as much as 4x performance increase by upgrading certain customers to Open UNIX off Openserver where more enterpise features are required of the OS, and we have matched and out-performed equivalent RISC based 64bit systems with Unixware 7.1.1
Its basically selecting the right tool for the job.
