16,000 users served from Mac mini

CommuniGate Systems has announced that in an experiment conducted in-house, the company was able to serve 16,000 users -- for services including email, calendaring, VoIP and voicemail, and IM -- from a single Mac mini. The demonstration was conducted using the new Pronto! product, which employs Adobe Flash and Adobe Flex 2 technology. The tool allows users to access e-mail and project files, schedule team meetings, and call colleagues directly from its interface. CommuniGate officials said "The launch of Pronto! provides a Rich Media interface for the CommuniGate Pro Internet Communications platform, a performance-driven platform that combines VoIP, data communications, and collaboration services. As the industry’s most scalable IP communications platform, CommuniGate Pro continues to set record benchmarks for performance and scalability." CommuniGate server packages are priced from $850.

Impressive, from a mini. Not all at the same time, I'm guessing : )

Not that I've read the article, but I can't imagine this is even close to being possible. Do you know how much space is on top of a mini? Its like 16 square inches. How can you put enough food on top of a mini to serve 16,000 people. Its just not possible.

Unless Jobs is the rebrith of Jesus....

They're pretty sturdy, testudo. A couple of large jugs of meals in pill form would probably be fine.

Still, they may be stretching it. A starvation diet for 16,000 is easy to provision. :P ;)
