Enterprise Feature Router

Hi all,

The company I work for currently hosts all our clients websites on shared hosting and we are planning on moving them all over to a dedicated server.

I'm currently researching what we need to accomplish this, ColdFusion being one of our requirements. So as far as I understand despite the slightly confusing feature comparison page and chatting to someone in sales who told me I needed the enterprise version to host multiple sites. The standard edition will meet our needs for hosting multiple sites on a single server.

So to my question, several ColdFusion features (PDF manipulation, office document support, CFThread etc) are referenced as using the Enterprise Feature Router on the standard edition. What does this mean? Can I still use these features in the standard edition?

Any help would be great.

Richard

    Yes that helps a lot. Thank you for your reply. As only a few of our sites do that sort of thing and in moderation i think the standard version will be fine for what we need.

    As I understand it, the Enterprise Feature Router is a feature of ColdFusion standard that gives it Enterprise capabilities by sending the feature to the EFR.

    The big caveat with that is that the EFR is single-threaded. For those things running through the EFR they can only be run one-at-a-time.

    So if you have a service tha tis creating PDFs, it can onyl create one PDF at a time, whereas Enterprise can multi-thread them and do several at once.

    Hope that helps
