The results are very good. The network is the weak link, of course. The
mainframes can handle the load with ease, and do. Response time is very
good, unless one of the domains dies and all 400 users migrate to the
remaining domain. Then, the CPU gets bogged down. But the same goes for
non-X users.
What kind of a network interface do you have to your Amdahl? I wouldn't
be surprised to see that as the weakest link in the whole scheme, esp.
if you're relying on ethernet speeds.
