Any point using web connector for just one machine?

[Jacob Hook]

I'm running Filemaker Unlimited on a Win2000 machine with ISS and don't have any other machines to use as dedicated Filemaker servers or in a RAIC. Will I gain any performance increases from installing the web connector?

I read somewhere that you can improve performance by running multiple separate installations of Filemaker. Does this have to be done over separate machines, or can you do it all on the one box?

Thanks.

Web connector should give you better control over your hosted files, and it's easy to manage via a supplied html page on your machine. BIG ALSO... if you are planning to do SSL, you MUST use web connector.

Yes your other running databases need to be on other machines (FM calls this a RAIC). And yes, if you have alot of traffic, you should not plan on FM 5 being able to handle it (hopefully multithreading in 5.5 unlimited will be better).

Not much of multithreading, not data anyway. Just data and static elements.

Thanks for the information.

But what is multi-threading?

Multithreading applications can do more things in the same moment. Like WebCompanion will be serving static HTML and in the same moment will request data from FM in version 5.5
