Hi everyone,
I've searched the forum to find any solid info on performance statistics, but was unable to find anything I can relate to. I work at a university with about 30.000 students. Each student has an email account. We currently use IMP v3 (Horde v2) as a webmail server on a single server (dual Xeon based on P4, 1 GB memory). This server talks to a single IMAP server (Cyrus) (dual Xeon based on P4, 4 GB memory). The performance of this setup is awesome. The mailbox quota is currently set to 25 MB. We plan to upgrade the students webmail server this summer to a more redundant setup using Cyrus replication. The mailbox quota will probably go up to 1 GB. We're also looking at upgrading the webmail client (IMP) to something new. This might very well be the latest IMP, but I've stumbled upon Roundcube a few months ago. I tried Roundcube on my own server at home and I like it. Luckily it became stable a few weeks ago. Before considering on putting roundcube in any form of production service, I'd like to know if there are any performance figures out in the field. Current measurements show us that there are at least 500/600 active IMAP sessions at the peak moments on a single day. Will Roundcube perform in an exceptable manner with those numbers, on a single server (like we currently have)? We realize that with the increase in quota, the number of mailboxes and it's contents will increase. Will this affect the performance?
Any input is greatly appreciated.
Thnx.
