BBB on AMD Epyc

[kuka berd]

We are in the midst of deploying BBB on 2 x AMD 24 Core EPYC 7401 Server. Is it in any way limited compared to Intel based processors? I went through the forum and was not able to find similar threads. The specs and CPU option was selected as many conference video rooms are needed for the project. As far as I am concerned, in order to increase the capacity of concurrent connnection to the BBB server we need to have plenty cpu cores, memory, internet bandwidth. I have read the BBB documentation nothing touch bases the new AMD processors. Is BBB going to work on AMD EPYC? Please accept my apologies, if the above question sounds ridiculous. I am newbie to BBB.

Hi Kuba,

It should work fine on Epyc.  Many of the components of BigBlueButton -- such as ffmpeg, FreeSWITCH, and Kurento make use of multiple cores.

That's right -- the more resources available to BigBlueButton, the more users you should be able to support.

Looks like a good setup. I think I speak for others when I saw we would be interested in hearing your experiences running BigBlueButton on this setup.

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred, 

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply and support. Indeed, I will share some findings as soon as we deploy and start testing it. 

Regards,

Kuka

EPYC  series is great.

And AMD Zen2 CPUs roflstomp Intel's CPUs ;)  Thank god, we have proper competition now.

Hi,

How many users have you managed on the server.
I am looking for a server for about 600 users and I wonder if
For example, I9-9900K would do the trick, or rather it is a task for an epyc.

Hi Lukasz,

> I am looking for a server for about 600 users and I wonder if

Checkout Scalelite, a load balancer that turns a pool of BigBlueButton servers into a single (very scalable) BigBlueButton server.  See documentation and install guide at

     https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/scalelite

With Scalelite, you can increase the ability to handle larger numbers of simultaneity meetings by adding more BigBlueButton servers to the pool.

Scalelite lets you do horizontal scaling, not vertical scaling.  We still recommend keeping any given BigBlueButton meeting size to 100 users (or less).

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred

Poland is not such a rich country that you can buy e.g. 10 servers with 150 users to carry BBB. But I understand that it can't be done otherwise, I can't support one server, e.g. 24 classes of 25 students?

Hi Fred

From what you wrote, I also understand that the best solution for e.g. 1500 users = 11 quad-core servers 8GB of RAM.
-----------------------------
10 x BBB server
1 x scalelite server from Database and Redis

as per the documentation having one server each  for Database, Redis and Scalelite is recommended  instead of all in one .

Hello,
could you write me a balancer for 600 students?
From what I learned from your speech.
Need
4 x BBB servers
1 x Server scalelite server
1 x Database
1 x Redis
