He said he has 1,200 people logging in per day ... how many thin client workstations does he have? That's what I want to know. I'd love to figure out how these larger networks (which to me is anything bigger than can fit in a single switch) are put together from a physical/wiring standpoint. |

A wild guess would be 200 or so. 200 thin clients times 6 one hour blocks of classes. I wonder what the server hardware is like, supporting that many simultaneous sessions at the same time. |

Quoting:I wonder what the server hardware is like, supporting that many simultaneous sessions at the same time.A Beowulf cluster of Chumbies? hehehe Then again, why not? I'm sure it could reduce the POV-Ray rendering from 17 days to about 4. |
