I do have some information from GK about their connectivity but
unfortunately do not have information about their connectivity speed at
the server level. What I do have is server bandwidth usage information
which may prove useful as you do your planning.
The information is slightly out of date since it is from March and they
are growing quite rapidly but it is a good baseline.
In terms of bandwidth usage, GK is using 25GB of data per month at the
server level. Of course, there is a corresponding 25GB of data usage
per month allocated across their branches also. At the time GK gave me
this data, they were 44 branches and had 1 user per branch, all
operating concurrently and probably another handful of users at the head
office using Mifos on a regular basis.
I don't have any more detailed information from GK other than that but I
will try to get more information when I next speak with them.
Thanks,
Aliya

Subject: Common Bandwidth Usage for Mifos
This would be a great question for an user's list ;)
At ENDA, we're evaluating the connection that's been selected for the
Mifos Server. It will be a dedicated 2 Mb down/1 Mb up ADSL connection.
Obviously as its a web server, the upstream is more important in this
situation and we're a little concerned that 1 mb may not be enough.
If you look at http://is.gd/1ZUL you can see some of the infrastructure
setup for ENDA. They have over 400 users and are potentially expecting
120 concurrent users at once.
I'm wondering if anyone has some experience with their connection
requirements for Mifos out there, the server, not clients? Maybe Grameen
Koota?
I'm looking for some details like:
* How many total users on the system?
* What's your daily trend for concurrent users? (aka, from 8 to 5,
how many users to you have using it per hour?)
* What's your average load rate over the day, aka, average hits
per sec, per hour? (Even with 100 users using the system, there may only
be 15 hits per sec on the webserver)
* Daily traffic trend in bandwidth? (How much up, how much down,
per hour?)
I realize each MFI will of their own processes and usage patterns, but
should give us some idea in planning whether we want to go forward with
this service or look seriously at other options (as the MFI grows, I
think that will become a priority eventually)
Thanks,
Ryan
