Safe Operating Limits

• EFT v7.4.x and later

DISCUSSION

The following is a list of EFT object types and their maximum safe operating limits. These limits were derived from numerous quality assurance tests conducted on server hardware that meets our recommended system requirements. Upon service startup, EFT will do a count of these objects and write a warning to the Windows Event Log and WARN log to eft.log if a limit is exceeded.

It may be possible to exceed these safe operational limits to a significant degree if the underlying hardware is improved; however, as objects increase, and depending on their composition and configuration, risk of adverse performance will also increase.

Globalscape will attempt to support, but cannot guarantee remedial action to hangs, crashes, or slow operations that are or appear to be a by-product of exceeding maximum safe operating limits as defined here.

If you find yourself exceeding these limits, we recommend reaching out to us. Sometimes we can recommend configurations that achieve your same business goals in a more streamlined fashion. For example, crafting a single generic event rule for handling a file upload from multiple partners, rather than one rule per partner.
