Re: The Future of the System i - the Domino theory

This thread reminded me of a thought I had over the weekend. 

I seem to recall a discussion here on Midrange maybe a few weeks ago, 
where the topic was that the IFS was not suitable for large scale 
processing of IFS (ie non-traditional i5 data types (QSYS.LIB)), and that 
it was by its nature inherently slow when compared to other servers used 
for similar processes regarding text files and images and so forth. 

Doesn't the Domino theory dispel that concern or did I miss a significant 
aspect of the conversation? 

Regardless, the magnitude of users a Domino installation can support would 
to me be proof of concept that the i5 can indeed meet or beat the 
expectations of other platform and application vendors when processing 
stream files for hundreds of users simultaneously.
