Question

How much load can AMS handle

I will be using FMS for a training application for a client. The app simulates a telephone conversation. Users hear audio which is pulled down from the FMS, then record themselves. The app streams the audio to the FMS using RTMP. My question: If there are 250 - 300 users simultaneously using the app, what will be the impact on the server? Can the server handle that many simultaneous connections without a performance hit? The client is very concerned the server will not be able to handle it. I have no idea whether this amount of traffic will be negligible or be a serious issue. Any information is appreciated.

Also, how would I perform load testing? Right now I'm using uVault for my FMS server and will ultimately install FMS on the client's box. Is there any way to do load testing in advance of having the FMS on the client's machine?

Hello J,

May I advise you to have a look at performance testing tools?

Nothing else than load tests, based on real-life scenarios, can better give you insights and evidences whether your server can support the load and which service quality level it can deliver to your users.

To be honest with you, I work at Neotys, editor of NeoLoad, a load testing solution. Neotys is a partner of Adobe for Flex. NeoLoad is designed to load test applications (including Adobe RTMP), realistically simulate users activities, and monitor servers behaviors. You can download a trial version of NeoLoad for free.

I do believe NeoLoad is the only solution which provides a strong RTMP support with an outstanding ease of use (no script, full graphical user interface, RTMP calls decoded in XML, and so on).

You can read mode about NeoLoad here : http://www.neotys.com/product/technologies-rtmp-load-testing.html

Hervé Servy, Neotys Performance Engineer
