Curt,
in the past I worked in SGD support and know of large customers deploy
this and allow application access globally. Array size should be
limited to between 8 and 10 machines. Multiple arrays can easily be
deployed The largest deployment I've heard of is 6000 concurrent/active
users in a single SGD array. I'd expect this could go larger by adding
more machines as this was 6 very large machines.
Factors that exert load on an SGD array include:
- concurrent users
- concurrent session
- application type
- application size
- application color depth
- other features (e.g. CDM, security, etc.)
I don't believe there are public sizing guides available. Customers
typically work with SGD sales/support to ensure SGD deployments are
sized correctly.
Regards,
Curtis.

Curtis,
Yes, that helps. Do you have any idea about the maximum number of
concurrent users that has ever actually been deployed? Are there any
sizing guides available?
I'm sure there are relationships between all of the following:
- number of users
- average concurrent users
- maximum concurrent users
- average session length
- maximum idle session length
- peak bandwidth
The goal is to deploy bug tracking software to a potentially quite
large global developer community. I'm looking for positive proof that
using SGD wouldn't pose any scalability problems. More concretely,
I'm looking for a statement that some organization has globally
deployed to X users with Y of them having been concurrently active in
the past. The larger X and Y are here, the less the probability of
SGD being the weakest scalability link.
