We’ve got lots of partnumbers. Will the system be able to handle them?

Each of Herschel’s datafiles can hold up to 1,000,000,000 records.

Herschel uses clever techniques like “indexing” and “Rushmore” to find the data it needs, so there is little, if any, noticeable slowing down of the system as the number of records increases.

The system also has various “tune-up” options to keep it running like a rocket.
