Systems that deviate below the requirements will result in loss of optimal performance. All requirements are based on use Claris FileMaker’s baseline recommendations, internal testing, and real world production performance review.

Printers and Networking

  • If you are hosting an on-premise server, Pacific Solutions recommends that you obtain internet service (Typically Fiber) with a minimum download speed of 20mbps or greater AND upload speed of 10mbps or greater so that performance is acceptable for your remote users.  
  • A Hewlett Packard ink-jet or laser printer. The ink jet cartridges and toner for HP are available at nearly every office supply making them very convenient. Their printers are also very durable. The printer needs the capability of being used in a network environment.
  • All of the necessary cables for the above equipment. A quality/economical Ethernet hub, with a minimum of 8 ports. 100 BT Minimum, and Category 5 Ethernet cables or Faster. (Between each computer or printer and the hub)
  • Microsoft TCP-IP Networking Protocols
  • For stability and speed on the local area network, Pacific Solutions recommends wired networks rather than wireless networks.
You will need a local network administrator who is certified in Microsoft Small Business Networking. Although Pacific Solutions will be more than happy to interact with your network administrator, Pacific Solutions does not provide network troubleshooting or services.

Wide Area Networking
For optimal performance Pacific Solutions requires RDP sessions used in conjunction with a VPN for remote access.
