Is Auction Flex multi-user capable?
Yes. Auction Flex works in both peer-to-peer and client/server networking environments. A peer-to-peer network is a type of network in which each workstation has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities. This type of network is generally setup with 2, 3, or 4 computers where every computer will be running Auction Flex. With 5 or more computers we generally recommend a client/server network architecture. In this setup there is a dedicated computer (server) that is serving all the other computers (clients). Servers also generally have a Raid1 (mirrored) hard drive array which provides an additional layer of fault tolerance. With Raid 1 if a single hard drive on the server fails, the other hard drive immediately takes over without any down time. Peer-to-peer networks are generally simpler, but they usually do not offer the same performance under heavy loads.
