Hight Speed Client-Server Architecture

[vitchling]

Hi there

I need to design a high-speed and scalable architecture for my SMPP SMS server/business logic system.

My current system has a Windows MySQL DB server and a Windows VB business logic client server. I need to add SMPP SMS capability and need to understand how to connect my VB server to the SMS server with the best performance. Should I have a dedicated SMS Server with its own MySQL database or create SMS Server tables in my existing DB? I don't need to share tables between databases but the VB needs access to both with maximum performance. Any suggestions? What's the fastest connection method to an SMS server with VB?

Cheers

Hi,

The SMS messaging server is limited by 10-20 messages per second.
If you need higher throughputs, the best is to create your own application using the SMS and MMS toolkit. When caching the outgoing messages from the database, it should be possible to archieve a throughput of 100-200 messages per second.

Hope this helps,

Leon

Thanks Leon, that's about the throughput I'm getting right now.

I'll look into the Toolkit then.
