Recommended User Bandwidth Requirements?

Hi, does Appian have any recommended bandwidth requirements? We are in the Philippines where high speed internet isn't so prevalent. So, are there recommended bandwidth guidelines for different kinds of end users/consumers (light, medium, heavy), similar to how the following is derived:

 

N x T = BN
N
umbers of users (x) Traffic estimate based on usage weight = Bandwidth Needed

Some decent examples on the page above provide insight as to what they consider “light” and “medium” and “heavy” users. However, seeing as weights were considered only dependent on email needs, they are deceiving for what the modern office worker slurps from the fat pipe. I’d be as liberal to say that the following user weight groups are appropriate today:

  • Light user: 50Kbps
  • Medium user: 80Kbps
  • Heavy user: 120 Kbps

So for example, an office may have a mixture of users. This hypothetical company is comprised of 20 users. 5 heavy users who are the big whigs, 5 medium users who are the admin assistants and related positions. The remaining 10 users are light office workers who only use email. We would setup our estimate calculation in the following manner:

  • 5 (heavy users) x 120 (Kbps usage weight) = 600Kbps
  • 5 (medium users) x 80 (Kbps usage weight) = 400Kbps
  • 10 (light users) x 50 (Kbps usage weight) = 500Kbps
  • Bandwidth Needed = 1500Kbps or 1.5Mbps

 

So, what would a it be for Appian? If there are no guidelines, does the community of customers have any recommendations based on experience?

  • Light user: ?? Kbps
  • Medium user: ?? Kbps
  • Heavy user: ?? Kbps

  • Hello, bandwidth requirements usually apply for streaming when it constantly utilize network.

    Appian application works on the server, with only UI exposed to the users. You can use browser with dev tools that shows what is loaded into UI and what size does it have.

    Also Appian UI is constantly communicating with server, for example when data on UI changed and this would require short ping rather than wide bandwidth because the exchanging data are small.

    Special case is uploading and downloading files, you can calculate how often they will be used and what size can be expected.
