What is it?

Each Wildfire Connection Manager module you deploy improves the scalability of your Wildfire server by handling a portion of the client connections. It's suitable for very large installations of Wildfire (many thousand concurrent users). Download the connection manager module implementation below.

How many users can each connection manager handle?

Each connection manager should handle at least five thousand concurrent users. Experimental support for non-blocking connections is under development, which will greatly increase the number of connections that each connection manager module can support.

Can connection managers be used with other servers?

Yes (in theory). The connection manager protocol is being developed through the open XEP process. We hope to work with other server vendors so that the entire XMPP/Jabber community supports the protocol. We also expect there will be other implementations of connection managers that will be compatible with Wildfire. For example, a connection manager written with native code may be able to achieve very high scalability on a specific platform.

Does Wildfire Connection Manager Module use the same license as Wildfire?

Yes, the module is dual-licensed under the Open Source GPL license or a comercial software license agreement available from Jive Software.

How do I get support?

Support is available from the user community in the discussion forums. Enterprise-grade email and phone support is also available from Jive Software.
