Agree, when you have thousands of simultaneous users, it could be time to think what the hell are you doing. But the number sounds a bit off… I have fuzzy memories of some fun around that many concurrent requests with Apache 1.3 — that is, one process per user. Doesn't the fun begin quite a bit higher with just any more modern software?

You tell me, I'm not a sysadmin:) I can only attest to the fact that without any kind of RAID or suitable hardware setup (RAM for caching, fast networking etc.), even a dozen people accessing the same file can be very problematic (provided the file is large enough). As for the use case: digital content creation comes to mind. Sharing assets globally especially in times like these when more people are working remotely is such use case.
