We've been using a SEQUENT 450 with 256 Mb memory and 12 Gb (2 databases)
with about 100 users on a WAN attached to a LAN, TCPIP, etc with very
satisfactory results. Each database has > 450 tables!
The upgrade path is linear (symmetrical processing) -- it really is -- and I DON'T work for the company. The Sequent technical support is really OUTSTANDING -- I've had an engineer ring in from the States via a modem to fix a problem in the middle of the night (outside contracted hours in in the UK).
