I need opinions on tableau server 8

Asked By Rebecca Green 20 points N/A Posted on - 02/27/2013

Any opinions on Tableau Server 8 "Kraken"?  Can it parse unlimited text files?  I have used Tableau 6.1 and I was impressed with it's high speed performance data engine.  I have a Core Duo 2.66 GHz desktop with 4 GB Ram and Windows OS 8.
