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.
