Yes.  You can split up the data into different suffixes and databases on 
a single server (analogous to Novell "partitions" if you are familiar 
with those), or you can use chaining to have multiple servers host the 
data, and you can use entry distribution to distribute the entries in a 
single suffix among multiple servers.
