The scalability parameters for a multi-server (master-slave) deployment are as follows:
The multi-server (master-slave) deployment is scalable to 1000 users.
If an exclusive Web Access server is not deployed, the Web Access users are also considered in this scalable parameter. An independent Web Access server can handle 1000 users at any given point in time. If there are more than 1000 Web users connecting at any given point in time, consider the deployment scenario in Section 5.0, Master-Slave Deployment for a High Web Access Load.
The Enterprise iFolder server must have Web Admin and Web Access capability.
Web Access usage must be minimal to ensure guaranteed response time.
Clients must have a dedicated NIC of at least 100 Mbps.
Web-based access must be low, and thick client access must be moderate with 500 active connections.
The data transfer (synchronization of user data) rate must be at least 10 MB per hour per client.
Both SSL and non-SSL communication is supported.
The synchronization interval must be no more than 10 minutes.
If the master and slave iFolder servers are in two different geographical locations, individual Web Access servers are beneficial to improve the response time.
