Recommended number of partitions on each broker

Hi, I’m curious what’s the recommended number of partitions running on each individual broker? We have a 3 nodes clusters running 0.9.0.1, each one has 24 cores, 1.1T ssd, 48G ram, 10G NIC. There’s about 300 partitions running on each broker and the resource usage is pretty low (5% cpu, 50% ram
