What does "simultaneous connection" mean? 1000 open connections is reasonable; 10 _active_ connections is reasonable; 1000-10000 queries/second may be reasonable.
If these are readonly connections, then you could set up any number of Slaves. 100 Slaves with 1000 connections each would achieve 100K "simultaneous connections"? By "writes" do you mean INSERTs? Or UPDATEs? Or DELETEs? Regular disks cannot handle more than 100 I/Os per second. RAID, SSD, etc can help some. But it is essentially impossible (due to I/O) to do more than 1K _random_ writes per second. Describe your application further; there may be ways to make it work. Is this a web app? Web connections cannot (and should not) be persistent. If you have 2000 Apache servers, each with MaxClients=25, that is 50K "connections" from the user's point of view. But the connections to MySQL can (should) come and go rapidly enough so there may not be an issue. Please estimate "queries per second", and "writes per second", not "simultaneous connections". > -----Original Message----- > From: Reindl Harald [mailto:h.rei...@thelounge.net] > Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2012 11:19 AM > To: mysql@lists.mysql.com > Subject: Re: mysql - uppoer limit for doing simultaneous red/writes.. > > > > Am 14.07.2012 19:16, schrieb bruce: > > Hi. > > > > Considering a system, where I have a centralized Mysql setup.
