Hi,

I need to understand, conceptually on a high level, what is a "SQL Server Farm". Let me explain.

Typically when I deploy my application (hybrid of VFP and ASP.NET) the customer installs SQL Server and SSMS and I copy and attach my SQL Server database. Then I set up a login account and set up user to the database.

Now I am talking to a big company where one of the ITs says that "we have a SQL Server Farm". I don't want to sound ignorant when I talk them later today and therefore would like to understand how I would be "attaching" my database to their "farm"

Any high level explanation and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
