The Omada Software Controller version 5.4.6 is capable of managing up to 10,000 Omada devices (see FAQ#3414). However, to ensure optimal performance, it is important to use servers with sufficient CPU and RAM resources.
It is also important to note that with each Omada Software Controller upgrade, new features may require additional hardware resources, so it is recommended to leave some room for scalability.
Based on Omada Software Controller version 5.15.8, the following table provides recommended server specifications for different numbers of Omada devices being managed:
