Hi all,
I currently am running a BES 4.1.4 on MR2 on a Domino 7.0.2 server.
Currently, I have 150 active users.
Within the coming months I may have to add up to 250 extra people within the company.
I was wondering how I could calcualte what my server can handle.
I've searched this forum as well as the blackberry site and found no real method of calculating this.
Somewhere I read that the limitation is 120mails / minute, somewhere else someone was making an elaborate calculation which I didn't quite get
So I'm asking my question here in the hopes of getting a clear answer.
I noticed already that when my server is running that it is not a problem at the moment, but when it has to be restarted (after maintenance or something) I find that lately (as users are being added) it is already taking more and more time for it to completely reinitialize again.
My hardware specs atm are: 1 CPU of 3.0Ghz, 1GB ram and SAN connected disks. My BB server is on VMWare so expanding resource wouldn't be a real issue if the calculation takes only hardware requirements into considerations.
What setup are you running (specs per #users)?
Do you have any best practices in place on this?
Thanks in advance for your shared wisdom
Greetz,
Filip
