ACS

[mcardell]

Hi all,

I am working on a test environment with a evaluation version of Cisco ACS v3.3.

We are pretty happy with the product, but I am struggling to have:

-Number of users supported by the system;

-List of feature of the Windows version of the product;

-List of feature of the Unix version of the products;

Can you help with CCO links or documents.

It IOS important for us to understand what is the level of scalability and flexibility supported.

Thanks

Matteo

The unix version is old and not going forward. You should focus on the Windows version.
