Connections to the Appliance - Limits
Here are the considerations, for a Luna Network HSM 7 appliance, regarding client registrations and connections.
Maximum number of clients I can register against one Luna Network HSM 7 appliance
No hard limit is set.
Maximum number of clients that can connect to one Luna Network HSM 7 appliance, at the same time
The Luna Network HSM 7 appliance can support up to 800 simultaneous NTLS connections.
Maximum number of connections per registered client
No hard limit is set, but see below.
Maximum number of connections, in total, to a single Luna Network HSM 7 appliance
No hard limit is set. Luna Network HSM 7 limits the number of connections according to system resources. The number of simultaneous connections that can be established with the appliance is dependent upon the various client applications.
TIP If your application needs a large number of connections, there should not usually be any issue sustaining concurrent connections that have already been set up and are in-progress. However, if a network incident breaks the connections and a large number of clients attempt reconnection simultaneously, some might be in queue long enough to time out and need to retry, to achieve successful reconnection. Once connections are reestablished, clients resume their sessions in their respective registered partitions of the cryptographic module.
