[OFBiz] Users - how scaleable is OFBiz

[David E. Jones]

Si,

There is a document on this topic, it's a little bit old but still  
pretty all applies. This is really a pretty standard thing based on  
infrastructure technology that has been around for many years. The  
document is listed on the Docs & Books page, and here is a link to it:

http://www.ofbiz.org/scalabilityplan.html

In theory OFBiz can scale more or less infinitely. Clearly experience  
with load balancing and server farms is very helpful with this... For  
highly scaled deployments using a dedicated hardware load balancer is  
very highly recommended, preferably built into a high-end router. For  
very large server farms the pool of application servers is split into  
groups of 2-3 servers each that will back each-other up, or in other  
words that will share/replicate sessions. Both the load balancer and  
the application servers need to be configured the same for this.
