How many Users can Sugar CE have?

I know the Sugar Express version is limited, and CE is basically the same so if I had to tell someone how many users/employees they could have, what would be the answer?

Thanks!

Express had a hard limit programmed into the code, while CE does not. The limit would be determined by your hardware limitations, i.e. the ability of your hardware to scale. So the answer is going to vary by the given scenario.

Thanks for your speedy reply!

Hello sipserv,

On CE, you can create an unlimited amount of users. Angel is correct though, the performance of the system with large quantities of users will depend on your hardware and setup.

It's limited to 3.4×(10^38) users.

Hi sorry for reopening this post

We are considering working with SugarCRM CE for our company where we have 4 sales divisions. We would like to create or use a sugarforge module that could reproduce the Team functionality of the SugarCRM Comercial version, so I would have two questions

a) Do you think a server of Linux Ubuntu with 4 GB of RAM would be enough for a Sales Force of max 1000? Is there any documentation that explains the architecture needed depending on the number of users in SugarCRM?

b) Do you know about any module that could reproduce, in a trust way, the Team functionality so we can reproduce the Sales structure of our company in Sales Divisions and Sales Teams with Team Leaders and Sales Agents??

Thanks a lot

Hi jlabuelo

To ensure you will face an appropriate system performance I would suggest you to configure to servers, one for sugar itself and another one for the database. Make sure they must be installed inside the same network to minimize the connection response time.
Both servers should have the same 4GB RAM.

Hi Thanks a lot for your help and quick reply!!

In terms of database, would it be enough with the MySQL db or you think I should move to another DB system?

Also, I guess you dont know an answer, in that case you would've place it in the previous post I guess , but just to confirm. Is there any way to reproduce the Team functioality in Sugar CE??

Thanks once more!!

The DB system depends on the competancies you have in house.

We are running Sugar Enterprise with only 140 users, but large quanties of data on MySQL.

I would advise running 64bit Linux, that way you can make use of more than 4GB ram if you need to.

Also, check on the ability of your web front end to handle users. Although we have 140 users, we hardly ever have more than a couple of dozen loggedin at any one time.

1000 web users is quite a lot, and I would suggest 2 web servers at the front end to give some redundancy.

It is possible to have more than 4GB in 32-bit Linux. I'm not sure what the per-process limitation is in 32 bit.
I have a server running with 8GB of memory and CentOS 5.3 32bit
