Over the last 5 years Meshcentral.com has been online and the number of users has grown significantly. Today, there is over 14000 user accounts, over 15000 nodes (over 4400 of them have Intel® AMT) in over 11000 meshes. The mesh server is handing the load very well with almost 7000 machines connected at peak hour and the server’s CPU staying at about 1% utilization. This is still very light load for any server, but Meshcentral.com is also a test bed for real world usage of Mesh technology and with these users we can see where we can improve the server’s scalability and performance.
A week back we released a high performance Mesh server update that is intended to improve the scalability of the server. The update cuts the number of database queries by about 10%, drops the time the database spends answering the queries by 70% and cuts the number of database table writes by 80%! As a result of this update, mesh server administrators should see a significant performance improvement on Mesh servers that are under heavy load.
We also work to leverage WebRTC as much as possible to reduce traffic going thru the server and accelerating user responsiveness. The result is a scalable server that can be at the center for powerful cloud management solutions. From Servers to PC’s to IoT devices, Meshcentral has the scale, power and features to deal with all of it.
For more details on the performance update, we have a YouTube video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRefYsoL_5o

Check out the YouTube video on the Mesh Server performance patch.
This is just some of server performance data we got after the update.
Reduction of request complexity and number of writes is even more significant.
Meshcentral already supports activate-active load-balancers. Below is a sample
configuration of how Meshcentral can be server on a server cluster.
