Description |
|---|---|
|
File System |
Uses the operating system standard binary files, stored on your hard drive(s). Suitable for installations up to 500 accounts (depending on load). |
|
Database |
Uses a database storage system for account and domain information system. As databases use indexing features, this can significantly increase the speed of account and domain information retrieval. Recommended for installations with over 500 accounts (less if load is high). Note: For very large installations we recommend to use a heavy-duty database application rather than something like SQLite, and run the database system on a dedicated server. |
