2.3.2 Client machines

(a) CPU

CPU performance significantly affects the performance of data transfer and reception. With poor CPU performance, you cannot obtain a satisfactory transfer rate, even with sufficient network bandwidth. The CPU requirement for the client machine is as follows:

• Dual-core processor (2.0 GHz or higher)

(b) Memory

If the machine has a smaller amount of memory, you cannot obtain a satisfactory transfer rate when a large file is transferred and received. The memory requirement for the client machine is as follows:

• 1 GB or more

(c) Calculation formula for estimating the amount of disk space

When a client accesses JP1/DH - Server, a JP1/DH client program will be downloaded to that client. The client program outputs applet logs during data transfer and reception with the system. Make sure that your system has adequate disk space for these logs. You can estimate the capacity necessary for the applet logs by using the calculation formula below.

Capacity necessary for the applet logs:

Average file size of the deliveries (in MB) × 0.06 × number of deliveries per day × 14

(d) Network interface

Performance of the network interface significantly affects the performance of data transfer and reception. The network-interface requirement for the client machine is as follows:

• 100 Mbps or greater
