In a basic configuration, the resource requirements are minimal. Our server installation guides offer basic system requirements for the most common installations and platforms.
The best recommendation is to monitor your actual utilization since it is the only way to measure performance within your environment. Once you start to hit about 50 active users, any additional seats should scale in a linear fashion. We typically recommend customers review our ‘Server Tuning Guide’ at about 100 sessions, though we have customers with servers running thousands of sessions on a single server.
StayLinked will work on pretty much any Windows platform, as well as Linux, Unix, and IBMi systems. As a telnet client, we can connect to any number of telnet hosts and multiple types of emulations.
This means the amount of resources will depend on several variables including, but not limited to:
- Type of emulation and security
- Rate of user activity
- Version and configuration of the Java runtime used to operate the StayLinked server process
- Efficiency of screen updates from the hosted application(s)
- Quantity and usage of StayLinked advanced features
- Availability of system resources
Note that installations running on virtualized systems have additional recommendations based on the VM software’s best practice guides.
To provide an estimation of resources on a default system. We were able to connect over 1,200 StayLinked sessions on a second generation Raspberry Pi which is a 900MHz quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM device.
We hope this provides you with enough information, but please feel free to give our support team a call if you would like to discuss the specifics of your implementation.
