sizing guide for adobe connect 8

i require a sizing guidance on connect 8 --  which support 100 multi-party conferences of 50 participants each, i.e., a total of 5,000 users. At any point of time, the traffic can be 5- 10% of the total, i.e., 250 to 500 users may use the system at any point of time.

kindly guide me on hardware requirement with number of cluster requirement and database size.

Regards,

Well, with those numbers this is easy.

An Adobe Connect 8 server on-premise can and is capable of supporting 500 or more users at any one time. It's really higher than that but we're being conservative. So, two servers in a cluster would work fine for your purposes. See the install guide posted on the website for Connect and use the hardware specs in there.

Are you crazy, Heyward? That's totally wrong.

You're going to run into issues with anything less than a 6 server cluster. You can expect a max of 500 users per server. If you have need for 5000 user support you're going to need to implement Edge servers as well to prevent overloading of the servers, not to mention of your network.

I can't believe no one commented on this post earlier. I hope you are still able to build a correct environment.

Since abhayn stated that they expected no more than 500 users concurrently on the system, two servers would be sufficient. Therefore, Heyward's assessment is correct. They could have 100,000 users, but it is the concurrency that determines the hardware required.

FYI, Heyward is no longer with Adobe, so I wouldn't expect a response from him.

Mmmmm...That's not how I read it at all....

100 conferences with 50 users each....ah, you may be right.....at any given moment in time, they'll only experience 250-500 users.....with a total user base of 5k users...not with 5k users ever actually on at any one time....
