5.3 Scalability Parameters

The scalability parameters for a master-slave deployment with a high Web Access load are as follows:

  • Organizational strength can be up to x1000 users, where x is the number of iFolder servers.

  • An independent Web Access server can handle up to 1000 users at any given point in time. If more than 1000 Web users connect at any given point in time, an independent Web Access server can be deployed per iFolder server to handle more load.

  • Clients must have a dedicated NIC of at least 100 Mbps.

  • Moderate thick client access with 500 active connections is supported.

  • The data transfer (synchronization of user data) rate must be 10 MB per hour per client.

  • The synchronization interval must be 10 minutes for thick clients.

  • Both SSL and non-SSL communication is supported.

  • Heavy Web access is supported with a data transfer rate of 60 MB per hour per client.
