Need help with Kentico topology and number of licenses

Tech Fan asked on April 14, 2015 09:28

Hello,

We are designing Kentico based application which will have 5,000 concurrent users (yes concurrent). Application is going to have features like content authoring, login using social sites, customization (including data coming from external interfaces), dynamic site layout. Can someone help me to design topology and number of Kentico licenses required?

Thanks!

Licenses are based on the number of sites, number of servers (if in a web farm) your site will run on and features you are interested in. Without knowing more about your specific scenario it's hard to recommend a specific setup or license. Feel free to look me up off-line and we could chat a bit more about what your needs are and I'll try to provide you with some answers.

Hello,

Based on your requirements, my rough estimate is that Kentico Ultimate License should be sufficient for a project like that. However, as Brenden pointed out it is really hard to say exactly which edition would work best for you without knowing all the details.

Anyway, you can take a look at which features are available in each of the Kentico editions in this document - Kentico 8 Feature Matrix.

Best regards,

Thank you Brenden and Filip.

How about requirement related to 5,000 concurrent users? Will it support that? How many Servers we would require assuming 500,000 transactions per day?

Hello,

Kentico is able to handle a traffic of 5,000 concurrent users and to help support such a high volume of users, you can utilize Kentico's web farm module which takes care of synchronization between multiple servers.

Regarding the number of servers which are necessary, it is again hard to tell but I would not go with less than 2 servers. Additionally, what I would recommend is that you consider hosting your site in cloud (e.g. Azure or Amazon) due to easy options for scaling the project up and down. Adding or removing a server is a matter of a few clicks so you can experiment with how many servers provide you the best performance.

Best regards,
Filip
