According to them, it can have a 18X boost. Supposing they can achieve a 10X boost, a 3000$ server with a $3000 card could do the job of 10x$3000 servers. $6000 is always less than $30000. And having to upgrade clamav on only 2 servers is nicer too. > as always, YMMV. a small ISP may want to build a dedicated ClamAV > machine which gets things to be scanned handed over, a large(r) ISP may > draw a different picture. > Thats right, if your traffic don't cope a single server, you don't really need it.
