Information about Administration Server performance
This section presents the results of performance testing of the Administration Server for different hardware configurations, as well as the limitations on connecting managed devices to the Administration Server.
Limitations on connection to an Administration Server
An Administration Server supports management of up to 100,000 devices without a loss in performance.
Limitations on connections to an Administration Server without a loss in performance:
- One Administration Server can support up to 500 virtual Administration Servers.
- The primary Administration Server supports no more than 1000 sessions simultaneously.
- Virtual Administration Servers support no more than 1000 sessions simultaneously.
Results of Administration Server performance testing
Results of Administration Server performance testing have allowed us to determine the maximum numbers of client devices with which Administration Server can be synchronized for specified time intervals. This information can be used to select the optimal scheme for deploying anti-virus protection on computer networks.
Devices with the following hardware configurations (see the tables below) were used for testing:

If you connect Administration Server to a MySQL or SQL Express database server, it is not recommended to use the application to manage more than 10,000 devices. For the MariaDB database management system, the maximum recommended number of managed devices is 20,000.
Page topResults of KSN proxy server performance testing
If your enterprise network includes a large amount of client devices and they use the Administration Server as KSN proxy server, the Administration Server hardware must meet specific requirements to be able to process the requests from the client devices. You can use the testing results below to evaluate the Administration Server load on your network and plan the hardware resources to provide for normal functioning of the KSN proxy service.
The table below shows the Administration Server hardware configuration that was used for testing.
