Hohohohohohohoho. With a large Sequent Winserver or DG multi-CPU NT server, maybe, just maybe. This is a large, busy product. I heartily recommend Unix - and not a small server for this level of usage, either.

Just for example, I am currently installing Financials for a small shop - seventy users total. They bought a 512-MB DG AvIIon 5900 with a Clarion array for this. And they're retail, so they're nmot rolling in bucks.

Seriously, if they engage in transactions analysis and capacity planning they will realize NT is not the beastie for this.

hth -
