sfCRM footprint and performance
A very frequently-asked question is, "Can your application handle large numbers of users?"
or in similar vein, "How well does your application scale?" Here we offer
justifiable, quantified answers these questions.
As with all such performance tests, these
numbers are merely indicative of average performance, and should not be viewed as
guarantees or absolute numbers.
The charts above are the results of
running performance tests with sfCRM. For these tests, the sfCRM application was running
on a Linux server (Mandrake 9.1) using a 2.4GHz Pentium 4 processor with 1GB of memory. It
was using the BEA JRockit Java system. The assumptions used for these tests were the
following.
- The average user makes one page request every 12 seconds. (Based on our internal
studies, this number is on the low side — it is usually around 15 seconds in
practice — but we err on the conservative side.)
-
One in five registered users is active at any given time. This is fairly typical of
commercial environments.
