Server Requirements / Max Number of Users?

Openfire Openfire Support
1

Hello,

What type of server would you suggest for optimal IM performance?

I was thinking Joyent Accelerator for MySQL

http://www.joyent.com/products/publiccloud/virtual-appliances/mysql-accelerator/

We need a server that will handle hundreds of message a second. We are anticipating 100,000+ users daily and need the capability to grow quickly without outages or error in delivery.

Questions:

  1. What server specs would you recommend? What provider? (we would like to use cloud hosting for scalability)

  2. How much bandwidth does Openfire use a month? (Typical chat + limited file sharing)

  3. Is there a maximum number of users Openfire can accommodate or is it strictly based on server hardware?

  4. What would you need to handle 1,000,000 users?

**I greatly appreciate your help and look forward to your response. Thanks! **

Please let me know, if you have come to know about some specific configurations by this time.
