If a very small (2-person) operation were to start off with all functions in one server and they started to grow, how difficult will it be to separate the functions to different boxes as it grows? What complications can you see in making the changes? Thanks, Buck -----Original Message----- From: shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:shrike-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of M.

Of course it can, but my question was explicitly "assume that I can reserve one separate box to each service: in *that* case, how would I choose the best hardware combination for each specific task?" Look at it as an exercise, if you wish, and I was hoping to collect just the kind of feedback Emanuel provided. Any other info/comment is welcome!
