Hello,



Is there a guide to do server sizing (CPU, memory, HD) for OpenLDAP?

Hi Edgar,

What database backend technology do you plan on using. Do you know how much disk space your database will consume? How many anticipated clients? Anticipated read & write rate? etc.

Generally, if you have slapd-mdb as your backend, then you want your RAM to be greater than the database size for optimal performance. For HD, it's generally recommended to use SSD. CPU's will depend on your anticipated read etc rates.

I.e., substantially more information is necessary to really give any solid advice.
