federated databases

I am wondering if federated databases is reliable enough
for a large production server. I am seeking opinion of
those who are using federated databases in in large
production environment only.
Thanks.Reliable enough is a relative. If it wasn't reliable it wouldn't be in the
product but you might want to consider scaling up instead of out. It's a
much simpler technology and with less servers involved there is less chance
of something breaking.
