Hello, For september we're considering a large Guacamole deployment with an estimated load of upwards to 500 to 600 RDP connections in an academic environment. It's expected a number of these sessions will be used for 3D graphics and graphics design software. I'm wondering if any of you might have insights to share about how to successfully pull this off?
Since we expect to have to face possibly extreme CPU load, we're looking to place guacd on a single high end bare-metal server with loads of cores such as the recent AMD Epyc series and dual 10GbE NICs. Would it make sense to instead consider multiple servers and throw load balancing into the mix? I've read some suggesting to look into HAProxy, has anyone used it in the context of Guacamole? What about the client components, would it be important to also put this on its own load-balanced hardware? At this point I'm leaning towards multiple instances of the client but sharing the same hardware/OS as guacd since that would save us managing the bandwidth requirements between guacd and the clients.
