You really will need to make an assessment on the kind of pounding the
server will take - what the maximum load will be at any one time.

I want to reiterate what Ruslan has said here - I think you'll find
Valentina more than up to the task, but you will find both you as
administrator and you as application writer can manage the workload well.
You could, for example, write a non web client app (a part of your Director
app, for example) that automatically disengages after X amount of time of
inactivity.
