Network connection to Results Server
|
On Premise Network
1mbps down/1mbps up transmission rate
Successful use of Client’s APC Environment requires a properly routed internet connection that can reliably sustain a sub 100 millisecond (ms) response time between the network that Client’s APC Compatible Device is connected to and Client’s Abacus Private Cloud Server.
Where more than one of Client’s Abacus Private Cloud users are trying to connect to Client’s Abacus Private Cloud server through the same internet connection concurrently, there must be a minimum of 1Mbps/1Mbps dedicated to each one of those users. As used herein, the above stated connectivity requirement shall be referred to as a “Reliable Connection,” and it shall be Client’s sole responsibility to obtain a Reliable Connection.
Abacus works with multiple upstream providers to ensure that Client has multiple paths through which an internet connection may be routed to Client’s APC Environment. Abacus cannot control how Client’s Internet Service Provider(s) routes its internet traffic. As such, In the event of latency in Client’s internet connection to Client’s APC Environment, it shall be Client’s sole responsibility to ensure that Client’s Internet Service Provider(s) adequately routes Client’s internet connection. The fact that Client is unable to resolve the latency in Client’s internet connection to Client’s APC Environment shall not constitute “for cause” for purposes of terminating Client’s APC Subscription. It is further recommended that that Client have multiple upstream internet service providers to avoid performance issues caused by a single point of failure.
