4.3 FocalPoint Anywhere Requirements

When using FocalPoint Anywhere to connect to a PC inside your network from the outside (internet), the resources needed on the "receiving PC" must increase based on the number of users that will be connecting to it.

 

The resources of the host PC need to increase, above and beyond the server or workstation requirements (sections 4.1 and/or 4.2) by the following:

 

Number of users

Requirements

1 - 10 users

Increase RAM of host server/PC by 600MB per user and increase processor from Intel I5 to I7 or Xeon processor

10 users plus

Increase RAM of host server/PC by 600MB per user, and increase processor from Intel I5 to I7 or Xeon processor

 

Over 50 concurrent sessions, we recommend to use a farm of servers, using the Load Balancing feature, available on the Enterprise Edition.

Each server (physical or virtual ones) handling up to 50 concurrent users.

 

Comment: The type of hardware you need will mostly depend on what kind of resources the applications you wish to publish consume the most (CPU/memory/Disk). You might consider getting a server with SSD drives if you plan on using an application that accesses a database on your FocalPoint Anywhere server as it will greatly enhance the performances.
