Centerboard can handle many thousands of input processes and hundreds of users by using hardware with more processors and memory.  You can see that as you grow Centerboard will scale to meet your needs.

Storage for images or indexed files can be separated from the database and application files.  In fact they can reside anywhere as long as the network can access the file system.  This gives you many options as to storage types and locations for you records.  Centerboard does not dictate where you have to store your data.
