Reliability & Scalability

Sakai is a highly scalable enterprise application, with production installations of over 200,000 total and 20,000 simultaneous users. Configuring Sakai to support this scale of usage is highly dependent on the details of the implementation and usage patterns. The Sakai Administrative Guide provides basic information on scaling up your Sakai installation. For more information on tuning, also see the Sakai Admin Guide - JVM Tuning and Sakai Admin Guide - Database Configuration and Tuning sections of the admin guide.

The Sakai community is also a great resource for information.  The production email list is a good place to ask questions specific to your installation. You can subscirbe to the list or read the archives on the production list information page.
