Server Scalability

Sage Software offers a recommendation of up to 30 users for ACT! Premium for Workgroups and ACT! Premium for Web (EX Editions) and up to 50 users for ACT! Premium for Workgroups and ACT! Premium for Web (ST Editions).

Actual scalability and number of users supported will vary based on hardware and size and usage of your database.

Sage Software scalability recommendations are based on in-house performance tests using the recommended server system requirements found at:  www.act.com/2007systreq. Published minimum system requirements are based on single user environments. You must purchase one license of ACT! per user.

Deployment Considerations: Sync Transport Methods

Scenario A
--Application sync
   ..Only sync method for ACT!
   ..Application must be running to sync
   ..Ports are not configurable
   ..Up to 20 concurrent sync operations at once (varies based on data/server load and resources)

Scenario B and C
--Network/Internet Sync Services
   ..Available in ACT! Premium for Workgroups
   ..Both run as services (users don’t need to be logged into the machine)
   ..ACT! not needed for installation and setup
   ..Can serve up to 20 concurrent sync connections (varies based on data/server load and resources)
   ..Both services are distributable among multiple servers for load balancing
   ..Network Sync TCP/IP Port is configurable
   ..Internet Sync always uses port 80
