Re: IT environments bigger than Party?
I work for a Fortune 500 company that runs IBM's Transaction Processing Facility on mainframes, think airline reservation databases (e.g. SABRE, Galileo, Worldspan, Amadeus), credit card authorization (Visa, MC) etc. Message rates (and thus database I/O) in the thousands per second. PP is a zit on a gnat's butt compared to the transaction rates sustained in that environment.
A lot of this is e-commerce driven.
We all have the same, ah.... problems... as the poker sites. We just invest the $$$ in network infrastructure to have the DDOS attacks mitigated. After all, we're talking real money here, not a buck rake per table per 30 seconds. My particular system generates $70,000 per minute in revenue.
