1C Company Successfully Completes Load Testing of 1C:ERP Enterprise Management with 30,000 Concurrent Users
1C Company reports that it has successfully completed load testing of its flagship solution, 1C:ERP Enterprise Management, for 30,000 concurrently active users in a single infobase using 1C PostgreSQL on Linux.
The test was performed taking into account the requirements that the National Competence Center for Holding Management Information Systems (NCC HMIS, an autonomous nonprofit organization) submitted on behalf of Russia’s largest companies. Performance was monitored using the Apdex (Application Performance Index) methodology. The system achieved an Apdex score of 0.858, which corresponds to a Good rating and confirms a comfortable user experience.
1C Performance Is Sufficient for the Largest Organizations
The test confirmed that 1C:ERP remains stable and operational with 30,000 users working simultaneously in a single ERP infobase. This scale corresponds to large organizations employing hundreds of thousands of staff (as not all employees require continuous ERP access throughout the day).
To date, 1C Company has not received client requests exceeding 30,000 users in a single ERP infobase, nor are we aware of enterprises where such specific demand currently exists.
Test Goals and Objectives
The load test targeted the following goals.
-
Address the requirements of major enterprise customers, including Russian Railways holding companies, Gazprom Neft PJSC, Rosatom State Corporation, and their IT subsidiaries.
-
Support the migration of corporate clients to Linux and PostgreSQL.
-
Simulate real-world operations at large enterprises with 30,000 concurrent users.
-
Identify and eliminate bottlenecks associated with high levels of parallel user activity.
-
Ensure uninterrupted system operation and prevent system errors.
Test Conditions
The test was performed on a 1C:Enterprise server cluster using the Test Center tool from the 1C:Corporate Tool Pack. The database size was approximately 1 TB. The scenario simulated the workflow of key ERP roles, including production dispatchers, procurement and sales managers, warehouse operators, accountants, and others.
Results
The results confirm that 1C:ERP Enterprise Management operates effectively under high load, making it a viable solution for automating large enterprises, corporations, and holdings. The system ensures stability even with tens of thousands of concurrent users, which is critical for companies with multi-shift schedules and large workforces.
