Our (mt) servers worked flawlessly.
States Gever Tulley, VP of Adobe. "At the peak audience load, we had 10,000 viewers continuously connected to our group of 7 machines and, according to the logs, not one was dropped due to server connectivity issues. Given that the load average on the machine never went much above “idle”, I think we could get away with half the machines for the same size audience. That’s an amazingly reliable system and team you have at (mt)."
