Bandwidth Recommendations for ASP Hosting

Bandwidth requirements for ASP hosting depend on the number of users, and the tasks they perform over the network. This bandwidth must be bi-directional. Asynchronous connections that have a high download speed but a low upload speed are not recommended. Most “home” DSL and cable connections are asynchronous, with a large download speed but smaller upload speed. Please select a “business connection”, which typically will have equivalent upload and download speeds.

Below is a table with the average requirements for network bandwidth. Please note that these numbers are estimates based upon average product usage and a provider-to-user ratio of approximately 3 to 1. Extensive use of scanned documents or a provider-to-user ratio that is higher than 3 to 1 may require higher bandwidth speeds. Actual network usage is determined by the load on the network based upon the usage patterns in Aprima PRM and any other applications utilizing the network.

Please note that the Aprima PRM client requires a consistent and reliable network connection. Any network outages that occur while the client is connected to the server will cause application issues.
