RE: [ActiveDir] Largest AD DIT
I can think of a few in the 30's, 40's...maybe 50-75, I forget the exact numbers. In production, that is. The bottom line is that we don't keep track, so use 25-100 as a working range of what we've seen lately, understanding that there are probably larger that we just haven't seen for a while. (That's a good prob...when you don't hear from customers for a while. Means nothing is blowing up.) We have seen customers scale their infrastructure far larger though. That is, the customer who has a 50GB dataset tends to test to 100-200GB and ensure they scale there for the future. So while they may or may not have it today, they typically have tested such that they have confidence that on their current hardware + current software they can get there w/o an issue. One example comes to mind in this category where a customer tested to 400GB even though they only have a ~60GB dataset today. One final point. The largest DIT is perhaps the largest uninteresting data point ever. :) What is harder to scale: a 2TB dataset with 10 queries/sec or a 50GB dataset with 100 queries/sec? Or how about 2TB with 2 replicas vs 50GB with 5 replicas? The bottom line is, storing data on a disk is pretty easy. I can create a 2TB db pretty quickly. Managing environments at scale is what is more challenging. ~Eric -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 2:27 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Largest AD DIT I am aware of a 20GB DIT or two.
