o
Simultaneous number of people that you anticipate will need to search/retrieve
Please note that as a user presses a button within the web browser to open a document within the SharpFind system a user
connection is used. Once the document is displayed that connection is dropped. All SharpFind solutions initially accommodate
up to 10 simultaneous users, which means that a maximum of 10 users can simultaneously open any document at exactly the
same time. In order to experience 10 people opening a document at the same split second in time it is likely that many more
than 10 people would have to be using the SharpFind system. The figure used as a guide is that the system can accommodate
up to 50 users with 10 simultaneous people opening documents at the same time.

This figure of 10 cannot be increased on the Standard SharpFind server, as this solution runs the Windows 2000 Professional
operating system, which is limited to a maximum of 10 simultaneous connections. The Enterprise/Rack Mounted solutions that
use the Windows 2000 Server operating system can have their connection limit increased to any number. This is performed by
increasing the Windows 2000 licenses on the SharpFind server. This results in the Enterprise/Rack Mounted solutions being
able to support potentially more than the 50 estimated users that was quoted above. (Please note that a customer would not
purchase these additional Windows licenses from Sharp).
