Colleen,

We are completely virtualized under VMware vCenter, with Cisco blades connec=
ting to NetAPP storage, all co-located at our campus IT department's data ce=
nters.  Though we experienced stability issues 15+ years ago, the product ha=
s matured into a super stable, super reliable piece of software.  I cannot r=
emember the last time EZproxy itself was the problem.
I would want to know more about the infrastructure your IT department is run=
ning?  Is it virtualized on nice new hardware, or on an old PC sitting in a =
closet with no HVAC?  What O/S, what specs on the hardware?  How much traffi=
c are you seeing against your proxy, how big is your institution, among othe=
rs.

HTH,
John

As an aside, do you have any stability issues with the product?  We seem to =
have problems with EzProxy going down on a regular basis, however IT cannot =
pin point the problem.
