25,001-100,000 users...At least 2.0 GB of available RAM, two 3 GHz processors

Hello the following post has been published in 2008. And back then the Openfire server had the following hardware requirements per quota of concurrent users.

Hardware Recommendations

Concurrent Users

Recommendation

1-500

At least 384 MB of available RAM and one 1.5 GHz processor.

501-10,000

At least 768 MB of available RAM and one 3.0 GHz processor.

10,001-25,000

At least 1.5 GB of available RAM, two 3 GHz processors, and one connection manager on the same machine.

25,001-100,000

At least 2.0 GB of available RAM, two 3 GHz processors, and between 1 and 4 connection managers based on exact size, each on their own equivalent machine.

However, from 2008 to 2014 almost 6 years, I would like to know if the requirements can be applied to Openfire 3.9.3 or had they been improved ?

The other question is about the usage of a connection manager for concurrent users from 25,000 - 100,000.

I haven’t seen a lot of posts about it recently; Knowing that recent openfire releases had gotten better and better handling more users, I would like to know if the connection manager is still necessary to use ?

Regards,

Chris

Sorry I forgot to share the link… here is the link that talks about the hardware requirements…

Openfire Requirements

Hello,

anybody can help me confirm if the above performance chart can still be applied to openfire 3.9.3 ?

I’m planning on deploying an openfire server for a community of 320,000 people with a chance of having around 80,000 concurrent users per hour.

I would like to buy the following refurbished server. Can anybody confirm if this hardware would work ?
