When to switch the DMS?

[Vates]

Hello,
at first I have to say, that LetoDMS is an incredible system! I've used it as a main DMS in my bachelor thesis and it works absolutely great. But I have a question from my opponent which is:

How big company can the LetoDMS support and which of the mentioned DMS should be put in use instead of it? The mentioned DMS are: shared folders on file systems, Google Docs and Alfresco Community version.

I should also mention that I use the LetoDMS in a small business with 3 people and an external accountant company. So is LetoDMS able to manage 50 people, 100, or more? What are it's limits? Are the only limits just server hardware and it's performance?

Thanks for answers! And wish me good luck at the exam .

I know of at least one installation with that many people and lots of documents. The way documents are stored on disk may be a problem. Each document has its own directory and some filesystem cannot handle huge amount of directories. There may even be a limit.
ext3/ext2 has a limit of 31998 sub directories.
Performance in generall should not suffer. If there are bottle necks in database access, then they are probably because of missing indexes.
