StrataFrame is extremely scalable and has been tested as such. We have companies using the framework all over the board and of all sizes. In fact, our medical software has doctors and clinic of all sizes. When engineering StrataFrame we made it a point to benchmark everything...and we still do to this day. We wanted to be able to take our medical software and install it in a single doctor clinic or Mayo Clinic and it only be a function of hardware. This has been accomplished and then some. We are about to release our Middle Tier Enterprise server which makes the framework even more flexible and scalable. I have attached a white paper on the middle tier enterprise server.In short, thousands of hits per hour is actually relatively small in comparison to some of the uses of the framework. Even our unit tests significantly exceed this amount of traffic using above average sized data structures. I feel more than confident that you will not have any performance issues.
