28.0. "FOCUS Information?" by BMT::BENJAMIN () Fri Sep 04 1987 21:58

Does anyone have any information regarding system sizing using Focus.
    I have a customer who is looking at building a database which will
    mainly be used for query. The size of the database will grow to
    approximately 1gb and they will have approximately 20 active users
    and an additional 40 users querying. Any information would be
    appreciated.

28.1Call IBIAUNTB::BOOTHA career of MISunderstandingSat Sep 05 1987 05:323
      Why don't you call IBI. They must have some guidelines that could
    help you. IBI has always been quite helpful to me in these situations.

    gets in touch with this group?

    re .0:
    
    Did you find out anything? I was referred to a local (LA) office,
    and the guy there was almost hostile, claiming that not one shred
    of performance data existed within IBI for the VAX line, and that
    "we don't do that kind of thing" (referring to sizing).
