Real-life Configuration and Sizing Tech Tip

by | Sep 22, 2015

Real-life example of configuration and sizing for a Diplomat MFT Enterprise Edition implementation that manages over 3,000 file transfer jobs.

I am frequently asked by our customers to recommend system configuration and sizing for their implementation of Diplomat Managed File Transfer.  We can provide fairly accurate MINIMUM system sizing information, but it is very difficult to estimate the needs of a particular customer – especially for larger customers.

So, I am sharing real-life configuration and sizing information provided by one of our customers below. This example is only an estimate since the frequency of each Diplomat job, the number of files processed by each job and the peak load of Diplomat jobs are not known.
