Hi Antonio,  I wondered about that myself some time ago and did some research; there were some nasty bugs that arose when the number of workers was higher.  The numbers may now seem arbitrary, but they are considered "safe" to use without causing problems on the cluster.  Keep in mind that workers are competing with resources on each node; too many and the performance will suffer.  They should not be exceeded without a case being opened and the explicit direction of Support.  Cheers, Matt 
Good Evening,  I have a question about the worker maximum per node. From documentation i found that the max is 8 workers per node per policy, 40 workers max per policy, 200 workers max per cluster.  I decided to try setting a policy to 20 workers per node per policy and it worked fine and spread the insane amount of workers across the nodes. is the 8 workers just a best practice? Can someone give me some insight into this loophole? This was me trying across  two nodes so maybe that's why? Does anyone have any real documentation on why this is true? This test was performed on virtual nodes.
SyncIQ workers maximum?
