We have an IDS9 database supporting 580 RDS users, 40 remote user connections and a further 8 remote enquiry connections. It further uses ER to maintain an (7.31) instance on a second box that supports 200 intranet enquiry users. The system handles the entire processes of the business from order entry through stock maintenance to back-end financials. Not so much business critical as business failing if it stops !! This runs 24 x 7 x 52 weeks a year and gets an occasional reboot every 3 or 4 months, usually when something else on the machine needs maintenance! I maintain this on a part-time basis along with Unix admin on 6 boxes and IDS Admin on another couple of supporting instances.
