samba - Sep 1997 - Scalability

Hi!

To convince one of our customer to use samba, we need a good reference.
In the survey I found an entry of the "Bank of America". If the entry
is
right they are using 1200 Samba servers with 15000 clients. 

Is that right? Is there any article or official statemant available, which
is public available to convince the "decision makers".

Who know other huge Samba installations?

Yours 
  T. Uhl

Hewlett Packard R&D Labs.  they run four of their largest multi-processor
systems with samba on.  they have around 500 simultaneous clients minimum
per machine, peaking at around 3,000.

they also use samba for print sharing (over 250 printers) because there 
is a bug in NT where it can't report any more than about 190 printers 
without truncating the list.
