Hi all,
We were wondering if you can help us, mailing list is our last chance after
use Mantis forum. All the information is at this forum post:
http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=22070
I will try to summarize what our problem is.
We are using Mantis for bug tracking, its running without problem, but we
are considering using this application & server during 2 weeks for another
special process. That means that we are going to increase significantly the
number of Mantis users during these 3 weeks, our estimations are the
following: 5000 users; almost 500 concurrent users.
Each user must submit 2 issues, as we have almost 5000 users, so ~5000*2 =
~10000 issues in 2 weeks, this is what we expect. Unfortunately there is
not a lineal distribution, most of our users used to wait till the end of 2
weeks period to submit their two issues. So during the last days of the
period, we expect peaks of more than 400 concurrent users submitting
issues**. Really, these peaks are our main concern; we want to know if our
current server will be able to support this amount of concurrent users.
Right now our server is working well, but without dealing with huge
concurrent users peaks, usually there are no more than 10 concurrent users.
We haven't found any documentation about server escalation recommendations,
we have gotten a great support at Mantis forum, but unfortunately there is
no answer for our question.
Our server characteristics are the following.
HW: Virtual Server with 4 cores, 8GB RAM, 50GB HD.
SO: Windows 2008 R2
Web Server: IIS 7.7
PHP: 5.2
BBDD: MySQL 5.5 (using the same server)
Mantis Version: 1.1.2
Please, we were wondering if you could give us some help with the following
questions.
1) Could support our server that amount of users? Shall we migrate Mantis
to a new server?
2) What should be the requirements of the new server?
It's a two weeks process, and during these two weeks
Thanks,
Juan
***Note: Last years, to mitigate these issues (with other tools) we defined
several process end dates (between 5 to 7) in order to reduce the number of
users per end date. We reached 400 concurrent users with this approach, and
that means that the process needs three weeks instead of two weeks, we
cannot delay it more time. *
