Similarly one may ask, how many servers are needed?
Usually you will need at least 1-2 extra servers at least for this purpose, but fortunately they don't need to be too powerful unless you have a very large number of backend servers to manage.
Additionally, how many servers does an organization need? Number of servers, as a way of identifying markets, is of primary interest to many IT vendor companies. On average, there are 20 deployed PCs per server. Hence, an organization with 100 PCs will have an average of five servers. Warning: Number of deployed PCs or end-users is not the same as the number of employees.
Accordingly, how many servers do you need for 1 million users?
Ideally 1 Server is good enough to handle about 1 million users and there will still be enough Resources available for more usage.
How many users can one server handle?
1 Answer. On Windows there are some resource limits which might cause you problems, but 10,000 connections is easy. In fact I've run more than 70,000 connections on a pretty low spec VM, see here server-performance.html for details.
