[Kroupware] Scalability

[Andreas Jellinghaus]

Scalability to the extremly large is a feature.
Your claim this feature for your design.
Your design has a certain amount of complexity.

Complexity has a price: it requires people to understand it,
to grasp it, to be able to deal with bugs, problems etc.

My personal opinion is: the price of using your design
is too high for a small system. There are alternatives
with much lower complexity, and thus a lower price.
(i haven't looked at the hardware costs, but i don't think there
is a major difference. And my experience is that many companies are
willing to pay for hardware, but not the people who can understand
complex designs.)

The gentle reader will make his own decision on how complex the
different proposed solutions are.
