Funny the NSA and many others would disagree with you.I know of (and have been the postmaster for) multiple million user installations that run happily on linux + postfix (and sendmail, qmail..). None that run on one server running webmin, even a 3U server.or layered as stages within a new system design based on GPU's which allow for the specific assignment of threads of control to specific processes. Imaging a cloud type environment running in a single GPU with the abililty to properly map threads to GPU threads.You don't have "single" of anything at all for large and well scaled environments.OK our server is 3U but that was because I wanted bigger fans inside it... The 1U single TESLA based email GW is exactly what you describe - a 512 thread CUDA based GPU with serious capabilities therein.So how many users do you run on that one 3U box? 100K? 300K? A couple of million? :) The man said carrier class. And when you talk that you dont just talk features, you talk operations on a rather larger scale than what you're describing. --srs
