1577.0. "Are there any info on hardware dimentioning" by MLNCSC::DALPORTO (Humanity detests death sentence!) Tue May 06 1997 15:51

    Hello,
    
    We have a big customer with Mailworks installed on a Alpha 7620 (two
    CPUs) with 512 MB RAM; on that server they have defined 3000 mailworks
    users. The average number of connected users is about 500 (5 hundred).
    
    Because with the above load the customer has some trouble, he is very 
    worried thinking to a situation with more and more users connected and
    he is asking for some information helping in planning the hardware able
    to support the most part of their 3000 (3 thousand) users connected at the
    same time.
    
    Is it there any documentation about te hardware requirements versus the
    number of users and/or versus a medium rate of sent message?
    
    Any help will be very appreciated.
