System requirements for 100 user meetings

Hi

We have a on premise connect 10.1 installation with a maximum of 100 user by meeting.

We force the use of client application for the meetings.

We use to have meetings type webinar, with 1 host showing webcam and a document or screen share,and n (80-90) participants viewing it and communicating by chat.

In this situation, our server rarely exceed 10% usage of CPU for one meeting.

Now, we need to evaluate the students, and we need to see the webcam of the students ( 80-90 participants) simultaneusly.

The CPU usage of the server raise to 100% and the meeting is unusable.

Our server has 32 x 2.30 Ghz core Xeon Gold 5218N 

 

What should be the hardware requirements to suppot 720p webcam for100 users simultaneuly?

I know it can be clustered, but what are the requirements for it?

 

I'm afraid adobe connect send 1 stream for each webcam and for every user, so I think is sending 100x100=10.000 streams. Is this correct?  Is there a way for prevent this behaviour? 

 

Thanks in advance

    Best way to prevent it is to not do it.

    Connect is a great collaboration platform that does support the use of live video. It is not, however, a video conferencing platform. As you have seen sending that many video streams will completly consume the performance capabilities of your server(s). 

     

    And even if you do have the video quality set to 720, only one person gets that quality while the rest should be at 480. Still, with a unicast solution, it isn't a practical workflow.
