 Re: How many users can 6.5 scale to?
6.5 HFA06 is rated at 33K per server. However this all depends on your policy settings, server settings, heartbeat, program observation, Client logging, and log uploads.
Based on this you can provide adaquate security on 66K endpoints with two Integrity servers.
However if you have a very restrictive policy with heavy logging etc then you will want to cut that figure in half. (my recommendation).
I have witnessed 2 server deployments of only 13K concurrent users crater due to policy deployment and not running on the latest HFA.
Note:
You can do DNS round robin with current versions of Integrity, thus eliminating the cost of a 3rd party load balancer. Some large financial institutions have done this. |
