EAS Proxy: How does it scale?

Detlef

Hi there,

my test-EAS Proxy is up and running, so far so good. My question: How many users can I connect to one EAS-Proxy? Who uses it with a significant number of users?

Cheers

Detlef

    Hi Detlef,


    this is hard one, as this somehow depends on the device configuration and the email traffic within your companys (e.g. is Push used?, How often do users synchronize?).

    Speaking to a developer on this, he said that the built-in EAS Proxy the SMC Server provides should only be used with up to 200 devices.
    If more devices should be connected, the External EAS Proxy should be set up and used. This Proxy should also be used if several email server are used in your company. The External EAS Proxy is designed differently and therefore supports way more connections than the built-in EAS Proxy.

    Please check the chapter 4 of the installation guide regarding the External EAS Proxy. and possible usage scenarios.

    Hope this helps.

    Best regards

    Stefan

    Hi Stefan,

    yes, that helps to get an idea but that's OK. So we will set up an external EAS Proxy. 200 Users will be the first step. If we realize that solution for our students we will have some thousand users on the EAS Proxy :-).

    Question to your Development: What about a POP or IMAP Proxy? Because we can only control mail-access for EAS-users. But we still have the two other protocols to sync mails.

    Best regards and happy easter

    Hi Detlef,

    the SMC EAS Proxy can only handle ActiveSync traffic.

    If you like, you can raise a feature request here to improve / enhance the functionality of SMC.

    Best regards

    Stefan
