Rick
Patrick recently froward your posting to me, I would be interested to
hear why "Janus wasn't appropriate for the customer in question, since it wasn't
a powerful enough platform for their user-base.". For the purposes of
comparison with our own environment, what was the capacity that was required ?
or in other words what would you estimate to be a reasonable ceiling for Janus?
You also state that "Interlock didn't rank very high on our list",
Whilst I wouldn't expect our the "bad mouth" any one, what do you believe the
deficienties were?
